The cookie handling code in link checker has known bugs, fix for this is in progress. An intermediate workaround would be to clear the cookie and try again. > The does seem to be a bug that if you put *any* value in the recurse > depth box it recurses, even if you don't tick the recurse checkbox itself. Bug, feature, dunno, that's the way it has always been AFAICT :) It's probably due to a bit of laziness, hysterical raisins (I guess the configurable recursion depth was added afterwards when the checkbox was already there), and to make it easy to share as much code as possible with the command line version where it is more evident that setting a recursion depth implies recursion. It's not the best of UI's, agreed. WDYT, should that checkbox be removed altogether?
