The source of the problem when we first moved over to this tasty, tasty rackshack server was that if you didn't include the trailing slash in a URL, such as:
http://www.stripcreator.com/forums
instead of:
http://www.stripcreator.com/forums/
You'd get forwarded to:
http://stripcreator.com/forums/
And as far as the browser is concerned, www.stripcreator.com and stripcreator.com are two different sites that have two different cookies (stripcreator[1], [2], etc). We fixed the forwarding error so that now it just adds the slash and everything is more or less fine.
The other day I encountered the same problem on another site I've been working on and we had to configure it properly there as well. So I'm not totally convinced that there aren't other circumstances where this craziness could happen. I haven't had it happen on stripcreator.com since that issue was fixed though. (But admittedly I pretty much just hang out in the forums.)
Do you go through any sort of proxy to get to the web? The front page does very little with cookies, so I'm not even convinced that that cookie insanity would be causing that problem.
