For those wondering what happened to jforum – I don’t know, but there’s a version at Google code that seems to be maintained and documented:

I've had a closer look at this and it looks like the problem is that the cookie has not been set properly. Make sure your code that does it the same as shown in the examples above. i.e.: Cookie c = new Cookie(SecurityTools.FORUM_COOKIE_NAME, encryptedData) Do you have extra quotes anywhere that are messing up the cookie for example? Or are your browser settings preventing the cookie from being passed - are you using a localhost URL for example? Good luck - Steve.

Steve Neal: I can’t tell from this – sorry.

Sadly it does appear to have tailed off there. It's a shame as its a neat project! Just needs a little TLC I think.

Slavko Glisic: Thanks Steve. Just want to ask one question: what happened to JForum community? It seems as it doesn’t exist anymore
