Actually, I just realized that the "mark as read" link has the same problem.

Ok, Ill explain it a little simpler. Sometimes it helps to cut all the un-needed crap away and make the problem as simple as it can be.  I have done that now.

Forget everything I said above and look at this code placed inside the forum dir called "login2.php":

<?php

define('PUN_ROOT', './');
global $db, $pun_user, $pun_config;
require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';

$userid = 2;
$pass = pun_hash("none");
pun_setcookie ($userid, $pass, 86400);

?>

I go to login2.php and get no errors whatsoever.  I then return to index.php of the forum, and SHOULD be logged in, however I'm not logged in.  What am I doing wrong? Userid "2" and hashpassword "71f8e7976e4cbc4561c9d62fb283e7f788202acb" are correct values, I checked via phpmyadmin.

What's pun_user, and why would I need to change it?  I mean setting the login cookie should be enough, shoulnt it?

Also, could it have something to do with where the punBB cookie it set? At which path?
I'm setting it in the root dir (domain.com/login.php) and my forum is in domain.com/forum/

Yep, that worked perfectly.  For anyone who's interested in this (rather simple code) to log people in, here it is:

$result_pun = mysql_query("select `id` from `f_users` where `username`='$username' ");
$row_pun = mysql_fetch_array($result_pun);
pun_setcookie ($row_pun['id'], pun_hash($origpassword), time() + 86400);

and the logout looks like this:

setcookie('punbb_cookie', "", 31536000, "/");
mysql_query(" DELETE FROM `f_online` WHERE `user_id`='$userid' ");
$ctime = time();
mysql_query(" UPDATE `f_users` SET `last_visit`='$ctime' WHERE `id`='$userid' ");

edit: it turns out that the above code only worked on my offline server.  On a real server/domain, its punBB doesnt recognize the cookie :S

Hmm, okay, you've convinced me.
