After you login, and press F5, do you still see the login button - or does the site show you as logged in now ?

What version of php is your hosting server running ?

Your theme looks like it was developed on V1.8.14 of MyBB, but what version is your forum on - in the ACP ?

Post your cookie settings here - what do you have for cookie domain, and cookie path - in the ACP -> configuration -> site details?

Your settings in Site Details is incorrect.

You need to fix the Cookie Path. You only need the '/' (forward slash) in that line.

This is how I have mine setup.

Actually, the main link of the forums is www.Hardwaremana.com/Forums . Thus according to that, "/Forums/" will be the right choice. Correct me If I am wrong.

/forums/  -- Thank you to @Ashley1 for correcting me on this. 

Should be the correct input for the Cookie Path line.

The Cookie Domain with the '.' (dot) covers all sub-domains including /forums

Try it and see what happens.

Looks and feels like a cache problem to me.

It could be that, too. I think you were referencing to the browser cache.

But... that gave me an idea about taking care of the website cache, too. As shown in the screenshot below.
