I've just had a look and you are running version 7.01, this is a veryold version and you should upgrade to the latest version for securityreasons.

Also the latest version (7.8) has other bug fixes, better performance, and more features.

Please see the following for just one reason to upgrade:-

What version are you using as you need to have the cookie name correct?

Sorry, I don't have the time to go through and make the changes for you.

If you are running the latest version the cookie name is stored in a variable so the correct code for version 7.8 is:-

Response.Cookies(strCookieName).Path = "/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl"

With no " around the name of the cookie, if"Forum" is the name of your cookie then you are running an old versionand should upgrade to the latest version.

 I was sure that would cure it, I have done what you have siad by putting
 
Response.Cookies("Forum").Path = "/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl"
 
Before every cookie is written and still I get the same message, you can see for yourself
 
https://usautomotive.co.uk/forum/admin/
 
 Any other suggestions??  Like I said I will glady pay for you to sort it out? - Thanks again for your patiance

Looks like you could be running an old version of the forum looking at that code, you should update to the latest version 7.8.

The part "cookieName" was only an example, you need to change this tothe name of the cookie and place it before the cookie is set eg.:-


Response.Cookies("Forum").Path = "/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl"

Response.Cookies("Forum")("UID") = strUserCode
   If CBool(Request.Form("ActiveUsers")) = False Then
    Response.Cookies("Forum")("Hide") = True
   Else
    Response.Cookies("Forum")("Hide") = False
   End If


You just need to add the line before the cookie is set, not change any lines that are already there.

Well aparrently not - If I do add that after each Response.Cookies I get this message:-
 
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: '[string: "/usautomotive.co.uk_"]'

/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl/forum/admin/common.asp, line 217

DOH!!  -boRg- I don't suppose I can pay you to sort this for me?? I will also pay for the link removal too  - Just need it sorted now.

Ok thanks for that, I just need to get one thing staright in my head
 
For example, below is a scetion of your code from the login page:
 
Response.Cookies("Forum")("UID") = strUserCode
   If CBool(Request.Form("ActiveUsers")) = False Then
    Response.Cookies("Forum")("Hide") = True
   Else
    Response.Cookies("Forum")("Hide") = False
   End If
 
 
Should it now be:-
 
Response.Cookies("cookieName").Path = "/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl"
("Forum")("UID") = strUserCode
   If CBool(Request.Form("ActiveUsers")) = False Then
    Response.Cookies("cookieName").Path = "/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl"
("Forum")("Hide") = True
   Else
    Response.Cookies("cookieName").Path = "/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl"
("Forum")("Hide") = False
   End If

I'm afraid not.

You need to get a program like UltraEdit and search for files that contain Response.Cookies

You then need to edit each of these files and put in the code for thepath the cookie should be set to, for your server it will be:-

Response.Cookies("cookieName").Path = "/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl"

At present no path is set in the forum code for cookies, the reason forthis is that it was found that by setting the path coursed problemswith allot of servers.

Ok - This is last time I shall ask for help I promise  - My hosts have asked me this:-
 
...........
does the designer know the phrase to search for and what to replace it with, ie:

search for  Response.Cookies("cookieName").Path = "/" and replace with Response.Cookies("cookieName").Path = "/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl"
...........
 
??? - Is it going to be as simple as that??

I had a look and it it trying to get through.

But it does look like a cookie issue.

Looking at my cookie cach after tryiny to login, for some reason the path for the cookie is being set as:-

/usautomotive.co.uk_ssl

When the path shold be just /, this is coursing the browser to have difficulties reading back in the cookie.

Maybe your host can help out with this.

If not you will have to find all places the forum sets cookies and manually set the cookie path using:-

Response.Cookies("cookieName").Path = "/"
