This happens occasionally, and I've always thought it was a problem with Javascript and/or cookies on the user's computer. Now I have a guy with very specific symptoms, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Here's his description of the problem:

I just tried to log in to this website;

http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php

And it appears that it uses the same software since I cannot log in there either and has a similar appearance/messages etc. It appears there is some kind of conflict with the website software and windows 8.

Here is something that I just discovered. If I log in (I think it is with the temp password you sent me) at the main forum and select a sub forum, let's say The Engine Shop, I am no longer logged in when I get to the sub forum. When I go back to the main forum, I am logged in again. It works this way if I select a thread within a forum (I'm still logged out) but get logged back in when I return to the main forum. Perhaps this will tell you something.
He has tried both Internet Explorer and Firefox without success, and it happens on two forums that run UBB. He also frequents other forums running other software and doesn't have this problem.

The odd thing is, he can "login" but when he goes to My Stuff he's no longer logged in.

I'm not sure what the interaction is, but this is clearly a unique circumstance consistent with a small number of users.

Any thoughts or ideas on what to check would be appreciated.
