Last night I logged into WWF (7.96) to modify a couple of board descriptions. No problem. While still logged in, I went for a coffee. When I came back, I was logged out. This was about a 3 minute time frame.
When I logged back in as admin, it told me that my login was successful and I was being transferred back to the forums. Which it did. The problem is that I wasn't really logged in. I was still a guest, and the "register" and "login" buttons were still showing. I tried numerous times, and I tried going to /admin to login with the same effect.
I'm pretty sure I haven't been hacked, and nothing else was changed on the forums except a couple of board descriptions. I thought about copying the password and salt back from the original database, but the problem is not that I can't log in, it's that I can log in but then I'm really not. Starting to sound like Dr. Seuss, isn't it.
Has anyone had this problem, or know what might be causing it. I'm the only admin, and I really don't want to have to start from scratch. Thanks...
*Edit: I've also discovered that no one else can log in, or I should say they can log in but they're not really logged in, and I can register as a new user and it says everything went okay, but still not logged in.
