My forums are set in this path:

http://www.mydomain.com/forums

so I've left my cookies path alone in the admin control panel...although I tried:

mydomain.com

www.mydomain.com

and neither pref seemed to help me with my cookies on the non-vb page.

Can someone direct me to figuring out how to get the log in to work this way. I CAN log in...but it then gives me a new set of cookies...a new session....

Do this:

Cookie path:

/

Cookie domain:

.mydomain.com

(remember the full stop at the front).

Then clear all your cookies in your browser, and log in again. See if that helps. If your homepage is PHP, make sure you have included global.php in it - if it's not PHP, cookies won't work without a lot of hacking.
