If you read through this and many other topics on the issue of ASP sessions you will find your answer.

I am still using server sessions and not the database sessions and things seem to be working ok. If this was a high traffic forum I would proabably be in trouble, but since it is low use I can get away with using server sessions.

You want to use server sessions on a high use forum, not database sessions. It's much faster and less resource intensive to store sessions in the web servers memory rather than to a database.

I read and read and read and read and obviously I don't know what to read  I tried this one:

And also told my provider about these ones:

could happen if the server is using multiple worker processes, the

somewhere on your website, or you are using load balanced web servers
that are not setup to synchronise sessions across them. |

ASP sessions.
You should check that Web Wiz Forums is running in
an application pool which has a single worker processes, otherwise ASP
sessions will be dropped.
You should also look in the address
bar, if you have a long SID number in the address bar throughout the
forum then cookies are not being set and you may need to edit in
notepad the file includes/setup_options_inc.asp and change the way
cookies are set.

I also saw that:

Have a look in the database at the tblSessions table and see if the CAPTCHA code matches that in the session table in the database.

but didn't found any captcha code field in tblsession table.

What you need to do then rather than jumping in on someone else topic you have a similar but different issue.
You should start a new topic giving as much details as possible, including steps to replicate, any error messages that you receive, version number, database type, server OS, etc.
It maybe that your host does not fully support our software as some hosts like GoDaddy and 1&1 won't properly run our software. In which case you may want to look at one of our hosted solutions, from 4.99 per month.
