Cookie Problems after upgrade From 5.11 to 5.12?

After upgrading from 5.11 to 5.12 (using vb & vbportal) cookies don't seem to be working correctly. USer logins on main page or in forums but when they go to the gallery that must login again. Had been working fine until uploading selected files.

Also built a new site (PM'ed you on this one) and seems the same problem there as well.

I'm not aware of any changes that were made between the two versions which would change the way cookies are used. Did you upload the forums/vb3.php file during the file uploads? Did you double check your cookie settings to make sure they are set as they should be?

yes, uploaded that the right files and the cookie setting are as the same as they were before upgrading. See attahced for the vb.

On the SMF have the cookie domain set there but not on vb.

Not sure why but looks as if this problem is related only to 1 user name at this point since 2 others do not have the problem.

Maybe that user needs to clear their cookies for the site (misc.php?ppaction=cookies, i think)?

After putting in a cookie domain it appears to be working okay now.
