Hi guys,

I have this issue where after logging in, users are redirected to a page with the session id in the url (www.page.com/index.php?s=123456789).

This happens only on certain computers (very few users) and no others. I wonder why.

I was also wondering if there is a way to forcefully remove the session id in the URL, either through the admin panel or through programming.

My search for such an issue through the forum has been unsuccessful, so I'd appreciate some insight on this matter.

PS: I really need to remove the session id from the url.

Thanks in advance

Why do you need to remove them for? I'm not sure what the consequences of removing it would be, but I wouldn't recommend it. They are placed in the URL for when the user does not allow cookies to be stored on their computer, it means the session is passed around the site so if the user is logged in then they remain logged in for that session.

The session variable is there to track and keep logged in users who do not have cookies enabled. Removing it would mean that all users with cookies enabled would not stay logged in from page to page.

What causes them to appear if you have cookies enabled and you still get sessionIDs?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
