Thanks for your reply, i did change it from

<?php
chdir("forums/");
require('./global.php');
?>

to

<?php
chdir("forum/");
require('./global.php');
?>

as my url to the board is www.case-sensitive.co.uk/forum/

Hmm....
Perhaps try changing it to the absolute server path, ie /home/blake/public_html/forum/ Some servers seem to need absolute paths.

ok thanks, so i`ve got this right it would need to be changed to

<?php
chdir("/home/blake/public_html/forum/");
require('./global.php');
?>

or is that wrong

Yes that's right. Try that and see if it works.

My aren't on a subdomain either, and I've tried it with with the cookie settings left at default. I dunno, I'll piddle with it. Thanks!

No it didn`t work m8, still getting the same error

make sure, in the Admin CP area of the main options that you have set the domain to set the cookies to .yourdomain.com

I installed this hack and it works perfect! But is there anyway to let people who login return to the original non-VB page they logged in from instead of going to the forums?

This is from the readme for the hack

Awesome.. yup and went back and found that and it works perfect!
