Well, I've been able to reproduce exactly what you have described on my
machine. Clearing the cookies etc made no difference. One site
(meettheancestors)works as it should, and one seems to be getting the
session vars confused on the server. From one moment to the other I get
either previously entered username/s or the current one. There appears to
be no actual patern that I can discerne, its virtualy randomly returning
info from another instance of the seesion var.
I can't see how it can't be something to do with the server. It's certainly
nothing to do with the browser, as I'm using (IE6) exclusively.
This is a genuine problem you got here!
