Ideas?

There's no mention of this in the install instructions for the vB3 bridge, but you need to check what the cookie prefix is set to in vB, then use the same prefix for Coppermine to stop that login loop.

If you didn't specify anything different when you installed your board, the default vB prefix will be set as "bb." If you're not sure, you can find it in your vB forum /includes/config.php file at Line 81:

	//	Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
	//	Keep this short and only use numbers and letters, i.e. 1-9 and a-Z
$config['Misc']['cookieprefix'] = 'bb';

Just set the cookie prefix in Coppermine to the same as this, and that should solve the problem.
