Guys I have a problem with logging in.

After logging in it stays logged in until I post, or anyone else for that matter. AFter posting something it logs me out and I have to log in again.

Cookies is enabled on my PC but it looks like a server side problem. Any ideas?

I have Server 2003.

This sounds very odd, first try reuploading the ASP files to see if that fixes the issue.

If it doesn't could you please let me know if this effects all users, and does it happen immediately after posting?

I have tried re-installing all the files and still no luck. The forum is set up to look for the cookies on the computers if you know what I mean.

It affects every user and logs them out straight after a post. I have also changed the file in functions, sessions to true instead of false and that didn't do it.

There is nothing in the code that should effect login when making a post, so I really can't see why this is happening.

Have you made any modifications to the forum?

Version 8, also doesn't require cookies for the forum to work, could you have a look at your URL and see if it has SID= followed by a load of characters in it?

I haven't touched the forum or changed anything from standard.

My URL stays how it is, so if I type in testsite.com and that takes me to my main site, then if I click the forum link, although it goes to the forum the address bar stays at testsite.com rather than testsite.com/forum if you know what I mean.

I see you are using URL masking.

This may well be where your problem lies as URL masking can course no end of problems, just like what you mention.

Thanks Borg, I use 1and1.co.uk as my domain provider which forwards all requests for that domain to another address. Are you aware of a way I can do this so the full address is displayed. Or is there a company you know of that offers this service withougt domain masking?

Cheers
