To get the bridge to work correctly, I had to change my cookie path from '/msgboard' to '/'.  However, since doing so, I'm getting emails from people saying they can't log into the messageboard.  It just loads the messageboard again without being logged in.  When they clear their cookies, it works again.  Is there a way to keep the cookie path to '/msgboard' and still perform the bridge?  A lot of my users are not computer literate enough to clear cookies.  Although we don't have many registered users at the moment, I don't want to lose the ones we do have!

Also, I have an AOL dialup user that cannot log in to the gallery.  After he logs in, he shows as logged into the message boards, but not Coppermine.  I walked him through several things and could not get it to work.  This works fine for myself and another user I test with (neither using AOL dialup).  Could this be an issue with the way AOL switches your IP address every couple of minutes?  If so, is there a fix?

Thanks for any help,

Brad

change the boards cookie name...
edit: and of course run the cpg bridge manager afterwards again

I think that may have fixed it.  I'll know more after I can have a few people test it.  Thanks! 

As far as the AOL issue, I searched these boards and saw someone else had a similar issue, but no resolution.  Does anyone have any further information (or a fix?) as to why AOL dialup members can't log in?

One issue per thread! AOL usually comes bundled with some crappy pseudo-security software for the client that probably keeps him from logging in. Make that user configure his client properly (cookie/privacy settings). AOL users usually are newbies (that's why they chose AOL in the first place), so your user may not be up to the task. You will hardly find supporters here who can tell you details, as nobody who knows his work around uses AOL in the first place. As a result, nobody here on this board will be able to tell you details.
