well, i just logged in using IE

I'm testing it now. The current theory is that IE8 is forcing the domain to be passed along with the cookie. What I'm testing on a few sites is modifying libs/html.inc.php

Around line 771 you'll see this:



You can try changing that to the following (using your actual domain name)

Any luck with the above change? I'm too much of a newbie to try it without someone telling me it works.

But we are still having the problem with IE8 and people keep calling me and asking me what I intend to do about it. (I know, end of the world!)

Thanks.

Thank you - now I can't log out to try and see if it works

Clearing cookies with the mycookies tool doesn't quite do it.

I used it on another forum where I wasn't already logged in yet. It took 2 attempts at logging in before it 'stuck'.
