Aaron, I figured out why the forum kept "logging me out". :D I had previously been using the Forum link in your news post about the new forum, gallery, and wiki, which links to http://www.bundysoft.com/phpBB2/. But since you added navigation to the forums from the front page here http://bundysoft.com/L3DT/index.php, I've been using that. Unfortunately it links to http://bundysoft.com/phpBB2/ (no www!). I think this screws up the cookies - the domain is probably set to www for the forum cookies. You should probably do 2 things. First, switch the links in your nav, of course. Second, automatically redirect anyone who goes to bundysoft.com (no www) to www.bundysoft.com. I think you can do the latter with .htaccess.

Ah, whoops. I guess I had been a little lazy when typing-in a few URLs. As per your suggestions, I've updated the nav template to use www.bundysoft.com, and the root .htaccess file does a domain redirect. Thanks for the help!

Cheers,
Aaron.

Side effect is that those who already had it working, now will have to delete the existing cookie for bundysoft.com and make a new one for www.bundysoft.com... :wink:

Yes, that's true. I apologise to anyone inconvenienced thusly.

If anyone is unsure of how to delete the cookies, I've listed the required process for MSIE, Firefox and Opera in this thread:

Oops, I didn't notice that you had already posted a description about it. :oops: Probably because my cookie wasn't working at the time... :lol:
