[Forum] What should my cookie domain be?

[Cedric_FP]

If I redirect the following traffic:

mysite.com
www.mysite.com

to --> http://www.mysite.com/forums

Should my cookie domain be set to .mysite.com or just (blank) in the vbulletin options?

Thanks.

Like you my forum is at: http://www.mysite.com/forums

My setting is (blank) and never had any problems.

Leave it blank unless you know why you should be changing it.

Ok that didn't work - I previously had it at .mysite.com but changing to to blank just meant I couldn't log in.

Changed it back and all seems ok except for one thing:

It logs me and all my members out everytime I or they close the browser than reaccess mysite.

When you changed it to (blank) did you delete your cookies in your browser before trying again?

Yes - I went through the usual deletion of cookies/cache routine.

So what would be a problem of having it set to .mysite.com if that seems to work? Would there be any issues? Frankly I don't understand why it doesn't work on blank, but it mirrors a problem I had when first moving to 4.0(3) and that's when the initial change occurred.
