I spoke too soon. It is still broken. And, further investigation now tells me what's going on.
The repeat case: Go to slashdot. Log into an account that uses the new discussion system. View any page. Expand a "hidden" discussion topic. It will work. Switch to Vidalia. Ask for a new identity. Switch back to firefox. Try to exand another hidden discussion topic. Vidalia will show a connection opens to slashdot, and then closes. Nothing else will change in the browser -- you will not see the full text of the discussion (only the short blurb that came with the original page), and you won't see the parent/reply buttons. It is not so much triggered by Tor, but by using a different connection than the original page. Since Tor will change connections after (I think) 10 minutes by default anyways, this can occur without using "new identity". On 3/30/07, Michael_google gmail_Gersten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Ok, the pictures for this are up at http://www.stb04.nccom.com/ftp/tor-slashdot/ Please note: This was broken in rc 9. It is working (tested today) with rc 12, Mac os 10.4.9, and Firefox 2.0.0.3. Same privoxy :-). I don't know which upgrade fixed it, but it does work now.
