[Edit: Fixed, partly residual stuff that had to get cleaned out, and partly the cookie domain /sigh]

Yes, I know there's an FAQ on this :) I've done what's there and no joy. I've reset cookie-age quite a few times. current cookie path is '/'

I don't have need of the .yoursite.com cookie domain, everything is 'mysite.com/etc...' so that is set to (blank)

If I log in via the welcome block or main page navbar, it returns me to cmps_index.php and doesn't give me the "logged in" options - I can't see threads in forums I should gain permission to and I don't have userCP options in the welcome block. I am, however, listed in the Online Users block. If I click off to the forums, I'm logged in there just fine in Firefox2 ONLY. In IE6 I'm not even logged in there.

If I clear cookies and go straight to /forums and login, it works just fine and dandy. If I then navigate out to cmps_index.php I'm still logged in. If I click Log Out from cmps_index.php, I go through the logout process but am returned to the page as though I were logged in. If I refresh the page, I'm logged out.

Something I'm missing:confused: site is the-watch.net (http://the-watch.net)

i use the .domain.com cookie setting and it resolved my issues. from my understanding it allows cookies to be shared across the entire domain.

As StuntFactoryX suggested, try changing your Cookie Domain as well.
