I havethe header in an include. So its on a different page. Could this be why i am having this problem?

Nah, having an included header wouldn't affect it. It sounds like you might have a cookie issue.

Here are a few things you could check. I am assuming your forum installation is located at http://www.yourdomain.com/forums, and you are running vBulletin 3.5.x).

1. Make sure in your vBulletin options, your cookie path is "/", and cookie domain is ".yourdomain.com" (notice the initial period -- this is crucial if you have any subdomains, but doesn't hurt otherwise).

2. Let's say your header is "header.php". It might look something like this:

PHP Code:


			
 

<?php

//Require backend:

chdir('forums/');

require_once('./global.php');

chdir('../');



$userid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];

$username = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

?>



<html>

<head>

<title>blah</title>

</head>



<body>

3. Let's say your main page is "index.php". It might look like this:

PHP Code:


			
 

<?php

include "header.php";



if ($userid > 0){

      echo 'Welcome, ' . $username . '!';

}else{

      // display login form here

}



// assuming you have a footer include as well....

include "footer.php";

?>

Hope that helps.
