OK -- here's the deal,

FACTS:
I have the account on the server as www.moparstyle.NET and park www.moparstyle.COM and www.moparstyle.ORG on it

In the root is a Portal (VBIndex) -- which was freeware a couple of years ago when I installed it -- but it is either now unsupported (I think that's what the deal was when I last looked months ago) or it is no longer free. Anyway -- I've not had a problem with it (until now). There are no cookie settings in the Admin Panel for this.

It is integrated with my forums www.moparstyle.com/forums -- which is VB3.06 -- that too has not had a problem. The cookie settings are / for the path to save cookies, and the cookie domain is left blank in the Admin CP.

What complicates it a little is that I also use PhotoPost Classifieds 2.0 http://www.moparstyle.net/classifiedads/index.php -- which integrates with the VB member database. The cookie settings on this in the Admin has the cookie domain left blank but a cookie prefix of moparstyle

Finally, I use PhotoPost http://www.moparstyle.net/photoalbum/ PHP 5.02, which too is integrated into the VB forums. The cookie path is blank, the cookie prefix is bb, and the cookie domain is blank. I don't remember the reason for this -- but there was some problems getting this all to work last year -- and after two days of pulling hair (as I'm again currently doing) that's what was told to me as what it takes to make it work -- and it worked.

THE PROBLEM:

All of a sudden I have this funky problem where if I go to the Portal using the .COM or the .ORG (the parked domains) I'm (and everyone else!) is always logged out. When I log in I'm taken to the forums. When I try to go back to the domain's root using .COM or .ORG -- this nasty cycle continues.

However, doing this with www.oparstyle.NET (the actual account) doesn't give me the problem. I've unparked and reparked -- no help.

I have cleared the cookies many times -- No help.

I use the latest update of IE -- and while we can argue the merits of the different browsers another time in another thread, I need to fix this as 96% of my 6,000+ users use IE.

Below is a throw down login to see the problem.

Any idea how to resolve this issue? I've spent many hours trying and failing.
