Quote When you go to the forum after logging into your own system does it show your username at the top of the page?

yes, but only when first logging in from the main site.. I then go to the forum and everything is logged in and  I can post and reply etc as normal.
 
I then click logout (from the forum link) and I am logged out as it should be..
 
I then click on my main site to login (i.e log back in again) and it goes through normally on the main site, but when I click to go back into the forum.. it's not logged in...

This is very odd.

Maybe if you haven't already try entering your sites login and logout links into the functions/functions_existing_member_API.asp file and see if that helps.

You may also want to add into your own logout file code to destroy the session variables that you set for the forum as this may help clearout things a bit.

Hi Bruce,
ok I can't see the functions/functions_existing_member_API.asp file!!
in my functions folder there is only the functions/functions_member_API.asp
 
Am I missing one?
 
Also - my functions_member_API.asp file has the logout and login links specified.. and my logout script nulls the Sessions set ("USER")("PASSWORD") ("EMAIL")
so I know they are blank ...

Is this happening to you or to everyone on your site ?
Can you give me a link so I can test this ?
 
I personally think this is setup incorrectly, i think you are logging in and setting the forum api sessions which then lets you browse the forums etc and then logout which deletes the sessions but not the forum cookies, then when you return to the forum after logging back in the original forum cookie remains but a new session is set.
 
I cant remeber what I did on my forum logout, I know that I called both mine and the forum logout scripts I just cant remeber in what order. Try this, try redirecting to the forum logout script when you logout using your script.

Hi Jamie,
No problem.
 
The site is by another person, but I've just added some back-end CMS for him.
 
However if you go to:
www.learn-medical-statistics.com and look in the top left click to register and create a new account.
 
When that's done, that top navigation will change and you will see a link for Support Forum.. click that and you will be taken to the forum where , as you will see, you are logged in as you should be and can post etc.
 
then click the logout button.. that goes to that user_logout.asp page in the forum, which in turn then (according to the link I've set in the API) goes to MY logout script which nulls all the values in the cookies and the sessions..
 
I've got this working on several other sites I've helped out on but can't see what I've done wrong with this one?
 
Cheers for the help!

Ok, so when you register it logs you and you can go to the forum.
When logged out and then attempt to login you are not logged in on forums.
 
When someone registers it sets the login session, is that the same login session set when that person logs in using the login form ?
