Setting a cookie with the username

vbsetcookie('userid', $bbuserinfo['userid'], 0);
vbsetcookie('password', md5($bbuserinfo['password'] . 'L45537ea'), 0);
vbsetcookie('username', $bbuserinfo['username'] ); 


^^^^ This is the set cookie line of code recommended in the earlier thread.

I've made this change, and no username cookie shows up.

Any ideas?

Possibly you need to set the third parameter, which is a 0 on the top two function calls?
