Whenever I try to put in something like {.cookie|test.} on a page, it always shows this:
macro error: cookie
not supported or illegal parameters
I also tried creating a cookie and then retrieving it in your test.vfs that you sent me, and I got the same result, so hopefully you'll be able to reproduce the issue. I'm using build 277.
Also, I may be doing something wrong but when setting a cookie I can't get the path or expires parameters to work right either, it always says expires at end of session. Here's an example of what I put in:
{.cookie|signedup|value=yes|expires=+10|path=/.}
