I believe I have a cookie issue. I would the offending cookie if I knew its name and where to find it. I don't want to just delete all cookies under the IE tools dialogue, because there are some cookies from businesses that I want to keep. Can anyone tell me if I can search for the WWF cookie so I can then delete it.

Problem it won't let me login to my own site as the admin. I can use any a couple of the other computers in the office, or my laptop, but I want to be able to use my development computer, which is the one in question.

Also on a similar note. Before I switched over to using our own ID and passwords sent to WWF thru the session variable, a few people had signed up using their own information. Now when they go through the site, WWF is not picking up their new IDs and Passwords, but their original ones. Again, I think this is a cookie issue, so if I could explain to them how to get rid of the cookie, I think we would be alright.

Thanks.

Terry

I had tried that but to no avail. I'm beginning to think maybe it's not a cookie issue. Here's why.

I have set up two wwf sites. On all computers I can access both. On the problem computer, I can access one site, but not the other. It was all working just fine, then earlier this week, this one computer would not log in to one of the sites. I can still log in to this site from any other computer I want to. However, this computer that won't log in to this site, logs in to the other site just fine. So it can't be bad (corrupt) scripts on the server or I shouldn't be able to log in from any computer. And it can't be my developmental comuter is bad because it lets me log in to the second site. It's not that I dont' have cookies enabled, or javascript running or I wouldn't be able to log in to the one site. What is it I'm missing that is keeping me from logging in to one site but not the other?
