log in issue on my forum

[VBUsers]

a lot of members are getting logged out after 10 - 15 minutes of posting

heres a post from one of my members.

I get the same logout error, after about 10-15 minutes it logs me out.

Also, the same problem that was happening when this first opened still persists.

I login, and it returns me to the home page but it doesn't show I'm logged in. I have to click on a link to one of the forums to discover I'm logged in.

This could be confusing to new members.

What are your cookie settings (all four in vboptions > cookies)? And are you telling them to select Remember Me when they login?

I assume you really mean .website.com or .website.org

Those look OK. If it's the site in your sig, I noticed that users may view it at both www.yoursite.com and at yoursite.com, but if you have the cookies set correctly that shouldn't matter. It still isn't usually a good idea to allow that - you should pick one or the other and then redirect one to the other.

yea how do i remove that and just send it to the www. one

i know its in the htaccess but i forgot what to add to make it happen.

[Lynne]

Just google it or do a search here on "htaccess" and you should find instructions on how to do it.
