It might be me, but I don't seem to be able to keep logged in between visits!
Anyone else had this problem?

[Blambu]

Yeah I've had this problem too!

I haven't really had a problem with my login here though. It's usually on vBulletin boards that I can't stay logged in. Not sure why or what's going on, but maybe it's the board settings? But I think it's probably the fact that people are constantly using different ways to access the boards. Like, from their phones, laptops, desktop computers and etc. Maybe the fact that there's a constant change in IP addresses doing it? Not sure though.

Sam, what have you got for the cookies setting in ACP?
.www.webdevelopforum.com ?

[Sam Granger]

It's related to sessions I think. Will check this out when home, typing this with freezing fingers while waiting for bus. I have the same problem, happens when I'm logged in and visit the site in a different tab too.

[Sam Granger]

I set te session time a bit higher, hopefully this will help . It however doesn't solve the issue we get when we close browser/start new browser session. Looking into fixing this now.

[Gaz]

Still not helping much Sam

What session settings have you got? I know from prior experience that these settings are very fiddly..

Had this problem on one other freelancer vBull forum (not specifying since it could be construed as link spamming I suppose) but not this one so far.

The cookies your forum are storing are using www.webdevelopforum.com, check your bookmarks and see what they are set for. If it just says webdevelopforum.com change it to www.webdevelopforum.com and it will work.

Fixed my issue

I was just going to say that!! LOL! Dang you beat me to it!! "Might want to redirect www on the domain, It's not redirecting so it'll cause cookie issues, since the cookies set are for non-www." - Thanks to Jordan for that one.

Edit: Actually: http://blogbuildingu...irect-right-way

Which ever one this board is using mainly, is the one you'd go by and add it to your htaccess file.

I added a www. forcer, however I need to edit it a bit - if I remove www somewhere outside the index, I get redirected to the index. (I'm not a .htaccess guru)

Here's my .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.webdevelopforum.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.webdevelopforum.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

The code that was added by me:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.webdevelopforum.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.webdevelopforum.com/$1 [R=301]
