ReplyDeleteI have been using this method for the past few weeks..

same here, that thing comes back all the time, we just have to remove the thing when it returns.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Step By step :)
thanks... !!
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to remove this cookie permanently as it is now coming every day, is it caused by a program or a bookmarklet??????
ReplyDeletewhy i can not LIKE?
ReplyDeleteDoes Zynga test ANYTHING? This is ridiculous. Automated test tools to catch this sort of junk have existed for years.
ReplyDeleteZynga is the originator of this cookie. It is designed to track Script use.
ReplyDeleteNope it is not designed to detect script use. It occurs for non script users too. It is a flaw in the fight module. Zynga is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. For REAL we have shared some trigger points causing the cookie to explode in size. Thereby hanging the browser from accessing MW until the cookie is deleted.
ReplyDeleteis GRANT_BATCH_43 related to my problem? my main concern is i cannot post anything while on my MW page while using CHROME but when i'm using MOXILLA everything is ok.are they related to each other? thank you.
ReplyDeleteI use Spockholm Checklist beta, both on my desktop and laptop. On the laptop, I cannot see the very top of the Checklist menu, where the 'X' and Config are located. I am wondering if I need to remove the cookie and start over with my checklist to make changes to it... Everything is fine on the desktop, just the laptop has the issue. Could it be screen resolution or something like that? Thank you.
