Login redirects me back to homepage as if i didn't log in

[frankie.]

When users log into the forum they get the redirect page:

"Thank you for logging in, user" but then it redirects back to the home page as if they weren't logged in.

but if you click on the top left logo then it loads as if you're logged in.

I recently upgraded to version 4.1.4 from 3.8.x

I didn't have this problem before.

any ideas? I can create a test account.

If you allow users to login to your site via both http://www.yoursite.com and just yoursite.com., then you MUST have your cookie domain (vboptions > cookies > cookie domain) set to ".yoursite.com" (no quotes, but note the period at the beginning) or your users will have problems like the one you just described.

I was never going to figure that out on my own. thank you so much.
