Weird...I can't log out!

Another problem: When some users log in, they log in as the accounts of other users...which is quite weird. Why?

Logging out: If you recently changed your cookie domain or path or have not set it up please double check the settings, change if necessary and then clear your cookies.

Mixed logins: There is no logical explanation to this as the system only logs in on a valid username and password for each user. Are the users using a similar proxy server which could be caching some pages? We had a similar problem like this at high school where because of the cache server it sometimes showed us as being logged in as someone else on the same site.

what do I set for my cookies?

And should I turn cache off? or keep it on?

I turn cache off...

And same question: what should I set for my cookies?

Assuming the site is http://www.mysite.com/:

Board Settings > Change > General Configuration > Go

Cookie Domain:

Quote:.mysite.com

Cookie Path:

Quote:/

Or if you site is http://www.mysite.com/forum/:

Board Settings > Change > General Configuration > Go

Cookie Domain:

Quote:.mysite.com

Cookie Path:

Quote:/forum/

what if my forum is a http://me.host.com/forums

If that were the case, then your cookie settings would need to be...

Cookie domain: .host.com
Cookie path: /forums/

thanks!
