Don't know if it helps but my friend who was testing my Joomla login issues had the same login issues. While his computer says that he has cookies turned on I believe it's the mountain of anti-spyware crap that is causing the problems.

I sure hope the community can solve this one for us. I love Joomla. I'm just not clever enough to fix this cookie problem myself. And I'd really like to stick it to my DNN using friend.

Front end login problems have been driving me mad from weeks now. I fail to login from the front end but the backend shows that I am logged in. It only happens on one of my PCs and it happened on any joomla site including joomopolis. Today I found a solution simply by enabling the "Remember me" check box. With this checked I can login from the front end successfully.

I also have a problem to login.
When I type my login and password it is like if I am not logged in. But if I click on the "home" link which leads to "mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1" then it is good. So only the raw address "mywebsite.com" seems to think I am not logged in.
Is it the same for you?
In this case I guess we should do a redirection upon login to this url? but I don't know how to proceed

your thoughts?

edit: well actually I had no problem before at asian-addict.quotaless.com/joomla and now since the transfer I have a problem at www.asian-addict.com
So I guess I missed something and that this is not your problem, I'll post somewhere else

Nah, mine issue is on a 200+ computer network. I checked and the clock is set correctly.
Whatever the case I'm following this issue. Community Builder is a slick tool. Once someone cracks this problem it'll probably be back on my site.

Fresh reinstall of
Joomla 1.0.12
CB 1.0.2
Using IE 6, with cookies ON (tools -> internet options -> privacy, Custom setting with Accept/Accept and of course "Always allow session cookies" checked.
FF gives the same problem.
Other PCs give the same problem.
Problem as described in the thread - "Remember me" must be checked before users are effectively logged in.
So this seems to be some problem with session cookies. Or am I missing something? Or id this an acknowledged bug?
