Login problems on any page but Forumhome

[EvilChicken]

I have vbAdvanced so when my forums is loaded, you start there first, now I have noticed that when I try to login in, it seems to work until it redirects me back to the page I was at but it shows that I am not loged in.

It only seems to work when I am on the forumhome. However I haven't had any member complaints, I wonder if it is my forum or my computer and cookie setup.

Set your cookie domain in vb admincp to .urdomain.com make sure to include the preceeding dot.

now, if I change this, would this make login tough at first? Cause I have tryed that and I was once locked out of my admin page cause I couldn't log in and stay loged in

If you have login issues after changing it, make sure you clear your cookies and restart your browser.

Also, I recommend you setup a 301 permanent redirect. This is because, if the SE's find both www and non www links of your site, they will class it as two different sites, but with the same content -- meaning you get penalized for duplicate content.

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

Replace "Yoursite.com" with your own domain.

If vbadvanced in redirecting you back to a non www link after trying to login, then you need to post at vbadvanced forums and rectify the issue.

Ie if your logging in at your site www.yourdomain.com and after clicking login it directs you to yourdomain.com, then that is a issue within vbadvanced and needs to be corrected, that is not a reason to use a redirect script to correct and issue with a program.

Also note to make sure your URL settings in the admincp are set correctly, if it already contains the www in the address, then there is another issue as all the links on your site that are in your forums program contain the right links already and nobody will get redirected to a non www link unless they manually type in the address.
