I've recently installed your message board on my club's website. When users login, it says they successfully logged in but then returns them to the forum and doesn't acutally log them in. i have read several posts on this but can't seem to find the resolution. It works fine in Firefox. I have cleared my cookies. Cookies are set to website in the admin options. |

What time is set on the server, is it set before the cookie starts, or is it set to after the cookie finishes, also check the Admin Options >> Main Forum Configuration >> Forum URL:
It maybe set to the wrong url. |

the forum url is correct. i'm not sure what the time on the server is. it is hosted on godaddy.com. i don't see any tools to check the server time. |

Do you have an account we could use to try and test this ourselves? What version of IE are they using? |

I logged in, but no cookies were being set on my computer, using Firefox 3.6.3. It supposed to be saving my username or the very least, setting a session cookie. But no cookies were being set at all.
Haven't tried in IE yet, since I am having a problem with FF already.
If you go to Admin Options --> Forum Variables Information, do you see the contents of your login details (like username, session id, path, etc)? Just checking to see if the forum is setting sessions cookies for you.
Right now, your forum is very slow. Taking up to 3 mins to load a page. |

Ok, I realize why I am not seeing the cookies. You are using a frame, so when you visit teambuckeyefishing.com, it loads the forum from thirstythursdaygolf.net. So the cookies are being set from thirstythursdaygolf.net.
The frame is what is messing the forum up for IE users. They can login just fine from www.thirstythursdaygolf.net/tb/forum/ |

And after more testing using IE 8, users have their cookies options set to not accept 3rd party cookies (which is what your site is doing when they login from teambuckeyefishing.com), so they don't get logged in.
If you want to keep the frame, your users will have to accept 3rd party cookies for your site. Tools -- Internet Options -- Privacy tab. Click "Sites" button. Enter in the url of your site: http://www.thirstythursdaygolf.net/ Click "Allow". Click Ok. Click Ok.
It's either doing that, or getting rid of the frame. |

There's also some code around here for creating a compact privacy policy which will alleviate some of the 3rd party cookie issues.
All things being equal, I'd look at doing a re-design without the frame as its going to cause more issues than just the currently observed cookie issues. |

If I remember right, you can do one of the following:
Add the line in red to inc_header.asp:
Or
Add the following line below the Response.Buffer line in Config.asp:
I've used the latter with good results. |
