check_if_logged_in function failing - not finding USERID in cookie #4

I had to comment out this line of code: if (not any('USERID' in cookie_val for cookie_val in response.cookies.values())):

and replace with: if (not any('Id%3D' in cookie_val for cookie_val in response.cookies.values())):

because there was no USERID in my cookie.

My account is a Registered Guest (i.e. I am not subscribed).

Hi, this sounds like a non-issue, as the images are only able to be viewed by people with subscriptions. So this script won't do anything for you anyway.
