Okay, here is the sench, we are using our own websites login to log our members into the forum. In the beginning we had some issues with fully intergrating the forum wiulk our website; but this has since been resolved.
For the past few days everything has been working crystal; however, when I checked the site out this morning, I noticed that the forum was once again behaving as it was.
THE ISSUE:
The Member API has been properly set, and the session variables have been created and set to the users detail. This information IS NOT lost between the switch over from our website to the forum, and they are both on the same domain. The sessionID does not change, and the timeout is set for 4 hours and also does not change in the switch.
When you first click on the "Forum" link after loggin into our site, you are logged in and can navigate as any 'member' can, but when you click on the "Home" link on our navigation menu and then return to the forum or click on the "Forum" link instead of the "Forum Home" link in the forum itself, you are logged out and appear as a guest.
The Session variables are still set, and the sessionID have not changed.
The "forum" link in our menu ponts (now) directly to the forums "default.asp" file. and the "home" link points to our homepage. There are no commands to clear the session variables, nor does it appear to lose said variables. It is as if the forum itself is not regrabbing those variables each time the page loads from an 'off-forum' link.
I don't know how this issue re-arose after being fixed, and I, for the life of me, cannot figure out what's currently causing the issue.
My recent changes to the main website include changing a admin status over from a cookie to a session variable (now changed back), and setting folder write permissions on a onsite radio playlist directory, as well as the forums 'upload' directory.
I have disabled all buffer clearing functions, from my site, deleted all other session variables settings (except those se at the time of log in), and have tried both re-enabling the buffer settings in the 'default.asp' file and disabling the buffer settings, but have not had any luck.
HELP!!!!
