two domains pointing to one forum

[steve427]

I have two domain names pointing to my forum. If I logo in under one domain and then provide a link in a post to another page in the forum but using the 2nd domain name in the url it will kick me kick me out as a guest. Granted once I log in under both domains everying is ok... but my members aren't happy about it. Is there some trick to fix this?

Not really, cookies are set by domain name.

Pick one domain to use and use the "replacement variable" feature to change x.com to y.com

I used the "replacment variable" feature. After I did one domain wouldn't work at all (page never loads) but the other one worked fine. I then deleted the "replacment variable" I had made... but now the one domain still doesn't work.

this is a huge seo no-no. chose one url to access your site on.

you should really park domain b on domain a, and then place this in domain a .htaccess

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

One is parked on the other. Is that what you're asking?

... Oh.. I believe I understand what you're saying. With that .htaccess code you have provided will domainb.com as well as domaina.com show in the users url? or is it like a redirect and it will always show one url domain (domaina.com)?

Hey.. Just discovered that both domains are working with iexplorer but only one does with firefox. I'll do as you suggest with .htaccess

Thanks for the help!
