	Hi I'm using the member API.. both blnMemberAPIDisableAccountControl and blnMemberAPI set tot True In my main site login I set the Sessions as described. When my customer is logged into my site and then clicks the link to the forum, it goes to the default.asp forum page and in the top right I can see the user is logged in. If I click to go anywhere on that page (post a new topic, reply to an existing one) move around the forum) the login is destroyed and the user is no longer logged in. Anyone got any ideas where I've gone wrong? James

	Could be that the cookie is not being set correctly. Do you see a long SID= number in the URL? To change the way cookies are set edit the file in notepad called includes/setup_options_inc.asp there is an option to set the cookie to the root of the site rather than the directory.

	thanks for the quick reply!. No I don't see anything like that in the QS. One thing I have noticed which is even weirder. If I turn off the API and refresh the main forum front page, I then see the quicklogin form as you would expect (implying that I am deffo not logged in).. I then re-enable the API and FTP it across.. doa simple refresh and I then appear logged into the forum.. and can move around and post. I then logged out... tried to log back in using the API set to to True and it's still kicking me out. very very odd...

	I've changed that cookie path just in case and it's still the same :-(

	ok another update (sorry!) I've narrowed down the problem to the following: It only happens if the user logs into the site, then he/she can browse and post no problem. They then logout.. if they then log back in.. that's when the problem of it not logged them back into the forum occurs.

	When the existing member API is enabled then you will not see a login, registration page, or quick login as the users would login and register through your own system. When you go to the forum after logging into your own system does it show your username at the top of the page? If not then you are not logged into the forum. The issue may well be with the session variables being parsed to the forum. ASP session variables only work on the same web site and can not be passed across from domain to domain or even sub domains.
