Hi RickEpnet.
It is general question.Do or not use addtoken="YES".I read in a forum that it is safer to use YES instead of having the token in a cookie.So i want to know the opinion of the experts here.
Can you point me to the forum so I can see the context.

So in this case you would run cookieless site right?

Sorry, I was just heading to sleep.  I'd have to think about that one.  When my brain's not so tired ;-)
Btw: Don't know if you're in the US, but Thur/Fri are a holiday for most people.  That's probably why responses are slow.

OK
I hope you will find some time to look at this question.
There are too many things in the net but not a complete solution that could cover everything.
i'm not in US but in EU and when i wake up you go to sleep.HAHA....

That's because there isn't 1 complete solution. Unfortunately, there are different types of threats, and new ones uncovered frequently. Each requires different ways to defend against them.  Security is too important. That's why I didn't rush in and say "sure. you can fix everything just by doing (something)".  Anyone that says that is either misinformed or .. just plain lying ;-)

Haha, I figured.
