I am not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this topic - if not please move for me...
Recently I was having problems with my hosting provider. I finally found one that appealed to me and took on the task of moving. When I moved, I also took that opportunity to upgrade to version 3.4. Now what is happening is if users do not delete the OLD forum cookie, they cannot get in to the new forums. My old site was version 3.3 and the cookie was set to forum, the new site is version 3.4 and the cookie is set to website.
So, my question is, is there a way to write a bit of code that I can put, maybe in inc_header.asp that will clean up the old cookie for the user...
Any help is apprecieated...
Thanks. |

| I could be wrong, but your best and possibly only option is to have them delete their cookies manually then close and reopen the browser and log back on to the new site. |

Dayve,
Thanks for the input.
I just wish there was a way to delete the old one for the users simply out of convenience! |

you could just change the cookie key value and it should automatically prompt them to log on next time they visit. |

I need to look at 3.4, but in 3.3 there is a line in config.asp that looks like this:
strUniqueID = "Snitz00"
change it to something esle like:
strUniqueID = "Snitz2002"
I will look at 3.4 options. |

| yes, in config.asp it is called strUniqueID. If I changed it, would it even ask people who are currently logged on to log in? |

| If you change the uniqueID to something else, it WILL require everyone to log back in... |

Most Welcome. Hope it works out for you and your forum members. Just ask them to be patient and log on one more time, although I don't think most of them will give it a second thought, that is unless they don't remember their password when trying to log back on. |
