I'm having trouble with the member_api.
I use it to allow my users to auto log-in through my site. Here's the problem:
A user logs into my system.
The user clicks on the forum link, and the forum auto-logs the user in. (This is good)
If the user leaves the forum area to go to any other area of my site, they cannot return to the forum. (This is BAD)
In order to return to the forum area, my users have to log out of my system entirely, then log back in.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, in advance.
Jim

It sounds like your web site is dropping the ASP session.
Also check you are using the latest 9.08 version which sets a cookie to keep forum users logged in.

OK, I downloaded the whole 9.08 package. I then uploaded those files identified on the upgrade list to go from 9.07 to 9.08.
My original problem did not change.
I looked, but did not see anything in the new files that I needed to edit. Did I miss something?

It still sounds like an issue with the ASP session being dropped. This could be because it is set to low or because the server has issues holding the ASP session.
You could try setting the ASP session to a higher time in your own login page which creates the ASP sessions to pass to the forum. You would use the code below at the top of the ASP code:-
Session.Timeout = 20
This sets it to 20 minutes.
If you still have problems you may want to look at using the HTTP XML API instead. This is more advanced but gives you much more powerful control, for example you can use this to create users and get the users tracking details in order to create a login cookie for the user. For a list of actions and methods point your browser at the httpAPI.asp page in your forum.
