Hi. First post here.

I've searched the forums and have found no similar issue, so I'll post here. I'm using the released version of FUD (which kicks some serious tail!) and there's only one problem that I'm having - my cookies are not working at all. I had them set at a default setting, and they were not working. I then tried setting the expiration time to a higher value, still to no avail. I am uncertain of what to do. I have tested this on multiple computers, all with the same problems. The URL of my forum is http://welcome.to/terabyte/.

Anyways, in case I was fuzzy in that first paragraph, I can log into the site just fine. However, if I leave the site, even just by closing the window and immediately reopening the forums, I must log in again. Has anyone else had this problem? Or have any solutions? Thanks!

The reason that you can login and use the forum is because the forum will begin using cookies if sessions are not avaliable.

I went to your forum with Mozilla 1.0 and it used cookies for me just fine.

Which browser are you using?

Internet Explorer 6. Thanks for replying so quickly! The problem that I seem to have is with registered users. They can log in, and the cookies seem to work fine. However, when they close the window and then go back to the site, they are logged out. It seems as though my users are only staying logged in via sessions, while cookies would be preferable (I am _not_ sure of that though!)

That could be the problem indeed. Since if the cookie is set for a v3 domain it cannot be retrived from another domain and vice versa.
