This is my first post so please let me know if I do something wrong.

I need some advice on a problem I have recently. I have no idea why it's happening :

Support Request Template
What version of phpBB are you using? phpBB 3.0.12
What is your board's URL? http://www.studentdentist.ca/
Who do you host your board with? 1and1
How did you install your board? Downloaded phpbb package and had it installed
What is the most recent action performed on your board? didn't do anything, it was working before
Is registration required to reproduce this issue? Yes
Do you have any MODs installed? No
What styles do you currently have installed? Oxygen
What language(s) is your board currently using? American English

Please describe your problem. SID keeps showing up on the URL and changing after redirecting. For example, after I logged in, it redirected to index.php but I lost my user session. I noticed that SID was changing all the time whenever I hit a button or went to another page.

Thanks!
Tim

Do you have a test login account. If you changed nothing on your system and it was working fine prior to yesterday, then the only logical conclusion is that your host has changed something on the server to cause the issue.

I wonder whether there's anything wrong with the file ucp.php ? Does this function append_sid() not work properly for some reason?

Currently I am not able to send private message to you. May I have your Email address so that I can give you a test account?
