Hi,

My forum has a problem with it's cookies. You can surf to multiple domainnames like for instance forum.cars123141.com which directs (but keeps you at this domain) you to a part of a much larger forum that is dedicated to cars (something like http://forum.website.com/forumdisplay.php?f=443) and you can register there just like at the forum.website.com, afterwards users can log in at forum.cars123141.com but when they surf to forum.website there logged out, because the cookie is bound to the cars-section so to speak. How can I make sure that the user doesnt have to log in twice or more on my forum?

There is this cookiedomain option in the vbulletin options, but I'm not sure if it supports multiple domains and how I should specify them there.

Any help, hacks, plugins,etc that will work with 3.7.x and up?

You need to create the cookies for every domain on login. There are a few methods, and one of these is by using images.

I've never done something like that before so could you point me in the right direction? ;)
