I have the trial test site up and running nicely now and I have SMF2 installed in a separate db on the same server.

Both work fine until I integrate. Before doing that I can login to ContT and see my user name show where it should on the frontpage so I know that Im logged in. I can access the admin with the displayed Admin button links whatever. To access my smf2 forum I have to add smf to the end of my url and it all works fine once there.

Now, when I bring both together it all works as advertised and I can do pretty much whatever I like for example, embed the forum inside the ContT framework and I can use and display the Latest post block. But, and here is the problem, as soon as I integrate them I lose my login to the main site and there is no way that it will log me in. I qualify being logged in as seeing my name in the users online window. Also, I lose the Admin button link thingy at the same time. I can login to cadmin just fine and it recognizes me there just fine, thank god.

Any thoughts because I really like the look of the forum when it is nestled into the mainsite. I may be going to XenF at some point but not all people will be doing that so I would like to get this figured out if for no other reason than curiousity and perhaps someone in the future will have this concern as well.

Thx
