I have tried everything I can think of to remove the message we see when logging in:

"This feature is disabled because this board can not set or read cookies with your browser."

I have been told that the two values need not be set. This does not solve the problem. In the config.php file:

$conf['cookie_domain'] = ''; ( .radiochickforum.nzcool.com or .nzcool.com ?)
$conf['cookie_path'] = ''; (example please?)

I assume that this is a forum script issue and not a browser problem? Using Firefox.

This may be an IIS issue.

Make sure all the cookie setting values in config are empty. Cookie path is only used when you want cookies to be available outside the UseBB directory. If it doesn't work with empty values, try setting cookie_path to '/'.

Yes!

I had previously tried it with both cookie domain and path empty and finally have found that your last suggestion of making the path (only) '/' WORKS !

Thanks Dietrich :)

I had the same problem with a fresh install of 0.7. This solved it.

Thank you very much!!!
