Thers actually an admin screen to change cookies from Forum only to website. Its in the "Main Forum Configuration" Screen.
I had posted a large reply to this yesterday, but it got lost when my ISP's DNS servers decided to take a break on me just as I hit Post 
My suggestion is to simply update the Snitz cookie dictionary from your main login page using (haven't tested this solution, but it, or a variation of, should work I think)
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword"))
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name"))
You may also find you need to include config.asp in your login page to ensure all your forum variables are available on your login page. This should cause Snitz to "assume" the user is logged on when they get to the forum page, you'll need to update the Cookie to match the users relevant record in Snitz Member Database ie
Pword = FORUM_MEMBERS("M_PASSWORD")
Name = FORUM_MEMBERS("M_NAME").
Snitz login code can be found in inc_top.asp and it uses a function called DoCookies (?) from inc_functions.asp

Thanks evereyone for the responses. Ferdie,

I went to config.inc and change the strCookieURL value to:
strCookieURL = "/"
And that does it..
Hope it helps.
Ferdie.
it did help, thanks.
Gremlin, You seem to have a good bit of knowledge about cookies and offered a diffent solution. Do you know of any issues that may arise by using strCookieURL = "/"?

I cant think of any real problems that setting the cookieURL to "/" will cause providing you remember that you've changed it manually and not through the admin screens. Of course when upgrading to future Snitz versions you are going to have to ensure that you dont overwrite the change to config.asp accidently.
I'd suggest if you haven't got many users on your forums yet, to reverse your change to config.asp and then go use the admin screens to set the cookie to Website. Less hassle for you in the long run i think

Gremlin, I made the change thanks for the quick response.
I dont want to press my luck but now i have a new question, how do i add a field to the register page? I know i have to make put <inpute type=text name="referredby">
now where would i have to add rs(referredby)=request("referredby")?
I have add this to the register.asp, inc_profile.asp, and even config.asp but i cannot get the input into the database.
I added the field to the forum_config table
What does "name" mean here? The below is on the reqister.asp page
strSql = strSql & ", " & "'" & ChkString(Request.Form("YAHOO"),"name") & "'"
thank agian for any help you could provide
on edit i changed do to does
