I don't have the answers, but...
"How does ccTiddly know when you're logged in?"
- there's a loggedIn variable under window, haven't verified it, might
that help?
There was also a variable with the username I think.. might be mixing
it with the cookie though. I'd use firebug to go through the DOM and
see what you find.
I've never used your plugins so can't tell you anymore.
