I emailed my hosting company with the 5 suggestions that borg mentioned earlier in this post and they replied..

none of these suggestions seem to fit the configuration in 
our environment, and I know that other sites on the same
server are successfully using asp session variables etc.

-I might have to abandon webwiz and go with Snitz forums,
when is 8.2 going to be released? its almost the end of the
month i want to try that on my website

----------------
Hey Borg when you say "An ASP file on your site uses
session.abandon"
could it possibly be a separate asp application that i
have installed and one of those asp files may contain the
session.abandon? or does 2 different apps have no effect of
one another??

yes it could be any file within the same domain. or a file thats read when created.

who is the host?. most hosts can set you within your own pool etc

The session variables last for the life of your browser session - regardless of what/how many applications you run from the browser. Logout scripts, chat scripts. etc. often use session.abandon

I found this little "treasure" in another topic which WORKED.

Quote It sounds like the server is not able to hold the ASP Session.
If you can not fix the server issue, then you can tell web wiz forums to use the database instead to store the session.
You need to edit the file 'functions/functions_session_data.asp' to enable this using notepad.
 
My webhost made my own pool thingie for the main directory where I had the "test forum" but when I put the forums in another directory, the forums gave me the same errors...after tedious searching, I finally found that little gem which cured all my problems.

Using the DB to store session info is only available with V8 forums. The OP had a V7.x forum. The thread was from before V8 was released though, so perhaps they've upgraded.
