When I log in it says successfully logged in, but I am really not. How can I fix this error?


I already tried what you had on the sticky thread.
lol Thank you very much, I already had a look at that thread and that doesn't seem to be the issue.
Clearly you have cookie path issue.
Go to:
ACP > Configuration > General configuration
and check the settings:

Cookie domain:
.yoursite.com << Place your domain name here with the pattern shown.

Cookie Path:
/

Cookie Prefix:
abcd << YES. Set something here whatever you wish. Generally it is for multiple MyBB installations but can come out as life saver exactly for the problem you have shown.

After that, go to your browser's cookie area, find and remove all instances with your domain name. Try log in back.
Do you have any type of caching going on? What happens if (once you've logged in) you try going to a page such as:

SITE_URL.com/member.php?action=login

If you see a login page again, it's almost certainly an issue with your cookies as described in the sticky thread you said you've read. If you post your cookie settings and your URL, I can tell you if they're correct or not.
