Say im linking action=getnew to search a certain forum. Ive heard that in this case the sessionhash dosent matter. However I thought that the sessionhash sould be used in all links inside vbulletin?. In this case whitch would be correct and why?

1. search.php?action=getnew&forumid=1

or

2. search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getnew&forumid=1

doesnt really matter. I have used both without any problems. The sessionhash is just there to look professional *choak*

I assume you are kidding. :)

The sessionhash is a way that PHP can use other than cookies to keep a user logged in.

If a user has turned cookies off or is surfing behind a proxy, sessionhash can keep the user logged in.

However, if you make all your users turn cookies on, and they are not behind a proxy, then you don't need sessionhash.

@ Arunan:

Delete all your cookies in your browser, make sure cookies are on, and log in again. That should fix it.

Basically before when we were logged in we would be able to take part in stuff that didn't have the sessionhash, now if it doesn't we get logged out :-/

Did you change your cookie domain and/ or cookie path? Make sure they are set correctly.

Domain:
.yourforums.com

and
Path:

1. search.php?action=getnew&forumid=1

or

2. search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getnew&forumid=1
Restrict guest searching..
Login to your board with a user account
Follow the first link above which is without sessionid
And you'll understand why you need to use the second one..
