If there are two Discus boards on the same server and the cookies are conflicting (which you will notice because settings are filled in but you get authentication error messages), you can configure these cookies to have different names so they no longer conflict. Here's how to do it:

1. Edit your discus.conf file. Add the following line:

   COOKIE_ID=c####

   (Fill in four numbers for the # above. Use different numbers for each board. Choose whatever numbers you want, just so they are different for each board.)

2. Regenerate your pages. In version 4.0, go to Appearance Manager, click the "Regeneration" tab, and click the "Regenerate Board" button. In Discus 3.1, use the Board Manager.

Note: The first time a visitor returns to your board after you have made changes to that board, cookies that were previously set will no longer work for that board. Thus, the user may need to log in again to re-establish the cookies. Also, if you had an administration session open from before the change, you will need to log into administration again to avoid a "Bad Login" error when you click on a new utility. These inconveniences are one-time issues that occur only immediately after you make the discus.conf change described above.
