Users keep logging out

Hi im not sure if this is quite common with vbSEO... but i remember another forum where they are using vbseo, each time the user visits the front forum homepage they are logged out, however when they visit the thread they arent logged out... its really frustrating and now its happening to me...

Does anybody else have this user logging out issue after installing vbseo?

Cheers

Hello,

make sure that you have setup non-www redirect: [How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects

Some other things to check: Users getting logged out

You wont believe this guys but it does not seem to help as some users get logged out and http://mydomain.com/forum doent work and displays a 404.

Its really frustrating me out...

link to your forum with a test account.

This could also be a issue with cookies, and if users are switching between www and no www it will cause havoc.

Hi there mate, much appreciated for your help i will send you a pm with the login details and post the problems here so maybe others can also assist.

Ok i think we need to tackle the problem first, i.e. do things one at a time as i think one problem has lead onto many other problems..



The first htaccess change i made was for my parked domain, so when people visit my parked domain they are redirected to my original real domain.


This is the change i had made:

in root:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.realdomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.realdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]


in /forum:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.realdomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.realdomain.com/forum/$1 [L,R=301]


When i came to visit my forum i could not see the banner? Everything else was visible except the banner for some reason. Also the redirect from my parked domain to my real domain worked. Now because the banner was not showing for me after making the htaccess change i had removed the above htaccess settings, however i was going to remove it from root but could not see the changes for me to remove. So i assumed the redirect will atleast stop working now if i had visited my parked domain.

But the redirect still works for forum root? I dont understand why its still working when im not telling myparkeddomain.com/forum to redirect to originaldomain.com/forum? However the redirect has stopped working for main domain index page but not for /forum even after i had removed the settings...

Can we atleast solve this issue maybe before we move onto the next do you think or if anybody else can help?


Cheers

is the image being called from the parked domain? if so, it shouldn't be.

No the image is inside a seperate folder.. but outside the /forum directory... thats what i suspect the problem to be... however im going to try this tonight and see what happens...
