Ive had one of them do this already with no luck. He uses firefox and so I had him clear cookies and after that didnt work I had him try IE and that still didnt work. I could have other users try this also but since it didnt work for one I didnt even try with the others.

Looks like I had a dumb mistake on my part. I forgot one letter in my domain cookie and after adding that it seems to be working. Thanks for the help

So I get this problem posting in FireFox.

Cookies are as follows.

Domain: .awolgamers.com
Cookie Name: awolgamers_forum
Path: /forum

What would these need to be? These were set for me.. Not sure if this was something Raven set or the install set.

Try blanking out the domain and changing the path to /

Those were carry overs from your stand alone version. Also, delete all cookies on your machine that point to your old setup.

Did you change your cookies settings as described in other posts on this topic?

I just wanted to add a note to this. I have modified many sites that have this problem. It is almost never application related, but cookie/browser related. If you make sure you have flushed your cache, deleted all your cookies that relate to your forum path, and then rebuild the cookie settings as described in these posts, I have had 100% success in correcting the problem. Although there may be some occasional outliers they are few and far between Smile

What are your cookie settings in the forum configuration

Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 2:35 am

domain = sasclan.org
name = sasclan
path = /

Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 3:19 am

Assuming your site url is http://sasclan.org then those should be correct.
Using phpMyAdmin or other database administration tool, navigate to the nuke_bbsessions table and remove all rows of data (not the table just any data stored in it).
Closee ALL browser windows, clear cookies and cache
Open new browser window and lets see what happens Smile

I've also read you must have 2 dots in your domain. You could also try .sasclan.org.

Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 9:56 am

well before, it was set to .sasclan.org but now its migrated to all things BB i decided to re-read the fixes. So i am way ahead of you guys there
Tried it with dot and without
Table Rows dropped

check to see if you have ssl enabled or disabled in the cookie settings sometimes if you have in enabled/disabled it will give you that error mess with that and see if anything changes

I use this on my localhost XAMPP install:

Changing my settings to this fixed my invalid session problems on my XAMPP install.

also bumped into the invalid session problem. Tnx for the tips here. Solved my problem.

My settings now:

cookie domain: mass-snipers.com
cookie name: mass-snipers
path: /

First I had the cookie domain on www.mass-snipers.com

This resulted in all people trying to post on our website to get the error. But only if they browsed to the site like http://mass-snipers.com

All other visitors that went through http://www.mass-snipers.com didn't had the problem.

Setting the cookie domain to just mass-snipers.com solved the invalid session solved that problem but gave a new problem as the icons showing 'new posts' didn't display anymore. Fixed that by giving the cookie the same name as the site so mass-snipers

tnx all
