Having the forum on two sites shouldn't effect anything.

It sounds like your hosts are having problems with sessions on the server which need to be sortout from there end.

If they are using windows2003 server, there is an issue with it keeping sessions.

There is a fix for this on Microsofts site, but I can not find the post on this in this forum.

Thanks...I *know* that it's not a different app, because there's onlylike 4 pages on that site right now other than the forum.  I havenoticed problems holding sessions before, on other sites on thatserver, but was never sure what to do about it - for instance, thecanned login system in Dreamweaver uses session variables by default,and I re-write it to use cookies instead so that the informationpersists the way it should.  Now that I think about it, though,even the online help system @ my host has an awful short session time -I've found myself writing a long ticket, submitting it, and finding outthat the information was lost because the session timed out and I hadto log back in. 

Unfortunately the server side of things is sometimes a bit above my paygrade, as they say - is there something specific that I should ask myhosts to tweak so that the session persists longer (or in this case, atall)?  They've been pretty good to me over the years aboutresponding to issues I raise that often seem unique to myaccounts/sites, but I've found that it helps a LOT if I can say "Pleasedo X, Y, and Z" rather than "I have this problem, not sure what it isexactly but here's the result, can you fix it?"  Is theresomething I can do on the design side, maybe a value I can tweak in theheader file for the forums, that will help that session-ID persist?

Thanks a bunch for your help on this.  I wonder why it's only oneof the sites, though...makes me think that I should be able to fix theissue from here, if I can isolate it.  Could it be just that I'musing the same 'WWF' string for the forum cookies at both sites?

I've had a look at your site and it appears that the .net site has problems holding the session.

This could be a server issue, or you could have the session.timeoutvalue set to low, or you may have another ASP application, like a chatapp, that uses session.abandon

Hooookay.

I have a forum at http://www.lowgenius.com/esdb/forum.

It works wonderfully!

But I'm in the slow process of changing lowgenius.com to be just abusiness site, and I am doing my personal thing at lowgenius.net.

Both sites are on the same server, and have full access to the same SQLdatabase; I share data from other applications across multiple domains.

I installed WWF on lowgenius.net, and it seems to be working - as youcan see if you load .net, the forum information is identical (althoughobviously the customizations I've made @ .com aren't on .net).

There's just one small problem (well, two):

I can't log in from lowgenius.net.  Nobody can.

Logs in fine at the .com side, but not at the .net side.

I'm sure this is some ridiculously simple thing that I can fix in a minute, but I'm darned if I can figure it out.

I have created a test user account with guest-only permissions ifanyone wants to actually DO this and see what the problem lookslike.  The username is test_user and the password is test. Clever, I know.

The working forum is http://www.lowgenius.com/esdb/forum
The not-working one is http://www.lowgenius.net/forum

(Problem 2 is that the 'confirmation code' images used to log in from/admin are *always* broken.  Instead of 6 numbers, I get 2 or 3numbers and 3 or 4 broken images.  I've checked and re-checked thegraphic files and they seem to be fine.  Any ideas here?)

Thanks for help!
