[Forum] Auto login doesn't work sometimes

[Evoklub]

Since I upgraded my forum from 3.8.6 to 4.1.1, the auto login doesn't word correctly.

When I load the forum homepage from the favorites, or type directly to the browser, it look like I'm not logged in, but after clicking to any topic, forum, or just refresh, I'm logged in.

I tested it on different computers and browsers, some of them is working, some not, but there is no rule.

Whan can I do to make it work correct?

Most likely your browser is fetching a cached copy where you aren't logged in.

When this happens, try refreshing the page (F5, or the refresh button). Are you logged in then?

If so, clear your browser's cache (temporary internet files) and cookies. If you tell us which browser we can post instructions if you're not sure.

When I refresh the page (F5), I'm still not logged in. But if I click to any topic, or even to "What's new", I'm logged in.

What is the url you go to where you['re not logged in? vs the url when you are logged in.

Zachery, good idea:

http://forum.evoklub.hu - NOT logged in
http://evoklub.hu/forum - logged in

What's the problem?

(On same computer, with another account with IE it works, with my account on Firefox doesn't.)

Your site is using two different URL formats. The cookies are URL-specific so if you log in at the first URL, you are then not logged in at the second.

You need to standardise your links so that everything points to one or the other, not both.

Thanks, and how can I do it?

[Zachery]

For starters, book mark the right url. Then try google for htaccess redirect.

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

Thank you very much!

I've found the solution:

Settings - Options - Cookies and HTTP Header Options

Cookie Domain - Custon Settings, and there: .forumname.com instead of forumname.com

Not it works perfectly.
