So, i'm trying to understand the problem...

So you have your site at sitea but your forums at siteb; and you're trying to login from sitea to siteb, are you using some sort of login page at sitea?

If you're trying to set a cookie at sitea for siteb you'll run into a cross domain cookie issue which shouldn't work in any browser; but perhaps i'm missunderstanding...

Do you need Forum Install or Upgrade Services?
