Hmm I thought that most users would not allow sub.mysite.com to read
cookies from mysite.com because that would be classed as a third party
cookie...

I think MSN might use passport. They probably also write the cookies and session info to disk. When you navigate to another subdomain or domain within their realm, part of the http header, and prrhaps part of the url is a key to the disk info. If you google for "asp code server farm" you should be able to find some how-to's.

I read that now most new browsers disabled this features, since it allows other sites to collect information about you, for example Amazon.com uses Cookies in order to track the items you searched for and your shopping cart as well, if this was possible, any site could know your interest by reading your cookies.

well i thought you had to state the cookie was going to be read by other sites and i got the impression from how it they was talking about it on jodohosts forums that this bit of code worked for a site and all its subdomains
Response.Cookies("MyCOOKIE").Domain = "mysite.com"
and i was wondering if anyone had more info on it eg if i had to put "sub.mysite.com" to write it for that site or if i could just put the above and it'd work for all my subdomains wither its "www." or "sub."
i guess i can tweek the forum to have a edit profile on both forums but i only wanted to have it on one forum becose of uploading Avatars would course problems between the sites
