A cookie *must* be set else, you could not log in at all.
i removed my old one and there is no new one stored.

It could have changed to temporary cookie or one with a shorter expiery time perhaps?

There is no cookie.

I just checked again with Odyssey cookie list and there is absolutely nothing regarding hyperion-entertainment.biz.

I can log on, but as soon as i leave the site and come back immediately i have to log in again.

There are hyperion cookies in the sql .db file, but they don't come up in Odysseys cookie list

Hmmm okay testing a bit more, it seems the session ID to enable login is being sent in the URL. Side stepping the need for a temporary cookie.

The reason I could post without logging in was that I used URL completion and effectively preserved the session ID< which hadn't expired yet.

Ugh. That feels a fraction insecure! Were I to post the URL you might be able to login as me!

All requests are now redirected to use the .com domain. This broke the cookie settings, which were still using .biz. Fixed now.
Please contact support@hyperion-entertainment.com rather than trying to send PMs to me. Thanks! :)
