Unfortunately, neither solution made any difference.  I tried both changes and the result was the same as before.

I decided to try a complete, fresh reinstall, but that didn't work either.  I have noticed some issues that may shed more light on this... 
 
1. I cannot login with Quick login, under any circumstances.  I am immediately taken to the "Login_user_test.asp" page with error...
 
Error: Un-Successful Login
Your login was un-successful due to a session tracking error.

Please ensure that cookies are enabled on your web browser and you are not hiding or masking your IP address.
 
 
2. When using the main login page to login,  I am taken to a page that says that I am logged in (Login_user_test.asp)... then within 2 seconds, redirected to a page where I am no longer logged in ("default.asp").  During this process, if I click on "Memberlist" before the redirection script kicks in (got to be quick), I can go to the memberlist page, and then can stay logged in.
 
3. Lastly, if I register as a new user (which is now enabled and you can test this), the user is logged in without any problem.
 
Strange issues... something seems to be happening to the cookie after the redirection.  I hope this helps.  Feel free to login and test as needed.

The problem is because of the way your site is setup it's returning the URL as:-

nfaonline_org/forum/

when it should be:-

/forum/

This then incorrectly sets the path for the cookie which courses the cookie to fail.

Do you know how the site is setup in IIS? Is it setup as a virtual site or something along those lines so that we can replicate it in the lab and find a solution.

As a test, I copied the fourm files to my dedicated server, and the forum worked without a problem in that location, so I agree that the hosted account that is the issue.
 
The site is on a Maximumasp Shared account and uses a product they call "Virtual Director" to manage the various site domains and folders.  I know it is an ISAPI filter, but to my knowledge, there is no documentation for it. 
 
If you are willing to look into this further to find a fix, I can set you up with a test forum with ftp access.  Just contact me off-board. I would really appreicate it if you did.

That will be the problem the ISAPI filter will be re-writing the URL, which means there is nothing that can be done to fix this to automatically generate the cookie path.

Luckily such ISAPI filters are very rare which is why just incase the cookie path option was placed into the includes/setup_options_inc.asp file.

What you would need to do is replace the variable with the manual path for the cookie, in your case it would be:-

strCookiePath = "/forum/"

Just a shame it can't automatically set the path, but at least not to many people would be using such an ISAPI filter so hopefully not to many people will have the same situation.
