Following up on this thread [webmasterworld.com], I changed the setup so that the forums are in [forums.example.net...] , instead of [example.net...] . Now, however, the login cookies aren't working.

Here's the situation: if a user logs in via the forums subdomain, they are also logged into the main www subdomain. however, if they log into the main www subdomain, they are NOT logged into the forums subdomain. i've tried changing the domain of the forums cookie to just .example.net (to include all subdomains), but it doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

Are you should that you have removed previous cookies before trying to login again...

.yourdomain.net should work ok - what browser and version?

moderator, please delete this thread. this is not a cookie issue as i first suspected. the root cause is the fact that certain variables within the code aren't being passed. they cannot be passed via the URI in a GET variable for security purposes.
