Saved Ads implemented as cookie rather than tied to a particular user

[highnote]

An observation I made while doing some usage testing: 
The "Saved Ads" feature is not dependent on the user, rather it is dependent on the browser where the ad was saved.
For instance if User-x saves a bunch of ads for later viewing and then logs out, these saved ads are combined with any other saved ads by any other user that has saved ads using that browser.

Similarly if User-x goes to a different machine (perhaps at work) and logs in, those saved ads are not visible.

I checked with iAuto and this works as designed, however, the behavior was not as I anticipated.  A feature enhancement would be to add a list in the "users" database that contains all saved ad IDs for recall wherever the request was made from a user regardless of what browser was used.

Also, the Poll works the same way.  Once a browser is used to vote, the poll goes away on that browser until the cookie is cleared.

Strange thing: in our another product, iRealty, Saved Ads are in the User's-related section...
