Here is my setup: blog: www.beyond.ca forum: forums.beyond.ca Many of the forum members goto the blog homepage to get to the forums and I wanted to make the homepage more useful for the forum members. I am displaying a "forum welcome box" in an iframe on the blog sidebar (login box for those that are not logged into the forum). The problem is that when a user hits the homepage, everything works properly except for the fact that the forum cookie is being updated so that the last visit date gets set to the current time. What happens as a result is that when they try to click on "View New Threads" the forum reports that there is nothing new since they last visited. If users point their browser to the page that is in the iframe directly, this problem does not occur. The cookie only gets updated to the current timestamp if they see the page through the iframe. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? I've tried everything I could think of so at this point, ANY suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
