[Forum] Login and posting problems

I had JFusion Joomla to VB bridge installed, but it is no longer in use because I do not use Joomla anymore.

Problem: Users (not all) have problems logging in, they will login - then after it says logging in, kicks them back to the main forum and they are NOT logged in. They delete cookies and try again, but still no dice. After a while of doing this, some are able to get in.

Also if you quick reply, sometimes the forum does not take your post. It just vanishes - this does not happen all the time, just once in a while. The login issue happens all the time and is very annoying.

I have tried t change the cookie setting from default "/" to "/forums/" and even tried the custom setting http://sodenbowl.com/forums/ but we still have the problem.

I tried creating a new default vbulletin style with no parents as described elsewere in this forum, but that does not help either.

I am re-uploading all files in the even a file was over written from the JFusion install or other mod install.

I re-uploaded every file, and still have the same issues. It is interesting because when you login and get redirected to /forums/forum.php you show up as not logged in, but if you hit the "Forum" link at the top, when the page refreshes, you are now logged in...

Please help.

Problem solved so far, I changed my Cookie Domain from (blank) to .sodenbowl.com

This same solution solved our problem (which was the same) too !
