Hi,
I had a rather funny experience yesterday. I was showing my boss what
Trac looks like and at one point we had closed the browser and then went
back to it and got the normal "cookie expired, login or be anonymous"
error.
My boss totally panicked because she saw the word "error" and figured we
must have broken the whole system. It took a while to calm her down.
Having read through the screen carefully I can't see any suggestion on
how to make it cause less panic; the messages seem quite reasonable to
me. Perhaps just say "Cannot resume authenticated session" rather than
"error accessing authenticated session" or something like that; but it
seems like a lot of trouble to go to for one person panicking.
Anyway, even without making it a proper bug report I figured it was an
amusing story :)
