This once happened to me. I couldnt find a way to fix it other then an annoying process or reinstallation.

First off, Is your site updated? Meaning up to date and version 1.6?
If so then to see if it was the same as my glitch do the following.

Login (you will be redirected to Index and it will still say "guest Login")
Click on any random thread (From new threads is the easiest)
Click back to forum index from the Navigation

You should then be logged in (At least thats how it was with me)


Outside of that, make sure your cookies are set right and everything in settings is ok. Check your plugins for outdated ones and reply back if you get any more info.

Haha, You got off easy. Thats a good thing you had it fixed. I would of linked up a tutorial for it but I misread and thought you had already checked everything over.

Good luck on your forum.

I know how to solve this problem, for future reference you will need to access your settings.php file via FTP and change your cookie domain to .yourdomain.com

This should work.
