Login Issues

[Nintendo-Daily]

Some of my members are having issues logging in to the board, me included. I have a few computers I use throughout the day in my house, depending on where I am in the house. I have a dektop and a laptop. I can log in using my desktop with no issues. If I am using my laptop I have to login, close the browser, then log in again. What's weird is that when I first try logging in to the board using my laptop, it shows that I am logged in, but at the top it shows the login box asking for the user name and password.

One of my members just said that he had the same issue, so this is a problem I have to try and resolve for my members.

Any ideas?

You have to be consistent with the "www" prefix. Make sure both computers are using the URL set in the Admin CP as your Site URL. You should also redirect all non-www URLs to the www equivalent using .htaccess.

Thank you, dismounted That worked like a charm. I never realized that was the problem because I had my own site set as a favorite.

How would I redirect all non-www URLs to the www equilalent using .htaccess?

In you .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

What do you mean by you "can't login to your Admin CP"? What happens? Detail what you do to log in.

Your members can not login to the admincp?

If you have the same issue, then the same solution should work for you. Otherwise please start your own thread detailing your problems.
