This seems to only be a problem on Windows XP. Myself nor my clients have problems with IE8 on Vista or Windows 7.
Are your users on a network on an Active Directory domain with a domain policy? If the Server hasn't been updated with the new IE8 policies, then it defaults to the IE7 policies which are different than IE8. In the Internet options, particularly the Privacy tab, the Medium setting restricts 1st party cookies that save information that can be used to contact you without consent. This setting is default in IE8. If you're using an older version of CF server than 8, it may be time to think about upgrading. I have not had any issues with IE8 on any Windows platform with 1st party cookies.

This time, it's not even a design issue, it's a functional issue, and it's ruining our user experience. Plainly put, a certain subset of IE8 users are unable to log in to our site. Mind you, this is a signup/login process that has worked, literally for years. Along comes IE8, and suddenly there has to be a problem. It appears that IE8 is not storing our cookies, that track a successful login. Every other browser works fine. Some group of IE8 users, however, get our "successful login" screen, but when they click to go to a members area of the site, they are NOT logged in. We've done everything, including the setup of a P3P policy. This should work, for everyone, but it does not. I'm at my wits end here, and embarrassed as hell that I can't figure out what this issue is. I can't even reproduce it here, but I've seen it happen via remote desktop on some (gracious) member's PCs. We've tried telling them to check their security settings, clear cache, clear cookies, and more. But damn, they shouldn't HAVE to do all this stuff. Not this many people (and growing). They can accept cookies and view other sites (presumably), just not ours. I need ideas... fast. Can I solicit the help of the CF community on this? I have no idea where else to look.
