I am using the memberAPI. The WWF login forms have been commented out, so users can only log in using our website. I have noticed a quite interesting problem. The user is generally logged in without a problem, but occasionally, when the user attempts to log in to the forum, they are not actually logged into the forum, though they should be. When they click on "delete cookes set by forum", they are then automatically logged in. It is as if another cookie were blocking the new cookie.

A similar issue is when I log in... do not log off... and then attempt to log in with a second username. The forum still shows the username of the first user logged in rather than updating to the new user.

Any thoughts on what would cause this?

Oh, I am using IE 7 and Firefox 2.

I am continuing to get occasional complaints from forum members that they cannot log in until they click the "Delete forum cookies" link. When they do this, they are logged in automatically. Is there not a way to ensure that a previous cookie does not block a new cookie? Is that even the problem?

The member API has been updated with lots of new options and will be in a the next version due for release this week.

In the new version there are more options, one of them being to link the forums logout to your own web sites logout, this should fix the problem you mention.
