Weird problem, I installed no problem, and can login to user account without issues, but the minute I click on any links I get shown the forum as if I was just logged into my account (not the users)

Like when I login to the user account it shows the bar at the top of the screen saying I am logged in as that user, but when I click on any links the bar goes away and I just see the forum from my normal admin view.

How can I fix this please?

Apology wrong thread

This is working for me when I access my site via Firefox or Internet Explorer. However, when I use Google's Chrome browser the screen moves as if the screen has reloaded but the authentication has not changed.

1 of the best hacks ever

Hey Valter,

Is there a way NOT to Log out when you use other people's account when you do a post?

Everytime I log into another account and makes a post... I'm STUCK with THAT ACCOUNT... there's no header "click here to return to admin account".

If you could tweak this request I'll love you a lifetime!

PS. I have vBseo.. maybe this is the cause?
