multiple logins after logging in

Hey guys, not sure if it's been brought to your attention or not but as a vb admin myself I thought I would mention it. Have you ever noticed or received complaints that people are continuously required to login? This is related to whether or not they use http://www.xxxx.com or http://xxxxx.com

I've experienced this problem on my own board. It's related to the cookie domain configuration in the vb admincp. All of your links/redirects/etc and config should only be using one method (with or without the www). The users local PC will store a separate cookie for each method and the login is associated to the cookie that was updated when they logged in. If they login from a page with http://www.xxxx.com and then get redirected to http://xxxx.com they will be asked to login again.

Just a friendly heads up as I've experienced the issue just about everytime I visit your site for quite a while now.

This is one of my favorite sites guys, keep up the good work!!

From an admin standpoint, the easy way to deal with this is to redirect your users to the preferred hostname before they log in.

From a user's standpoint, your best bet is to bookmark the preferred hostname so that no redirection occurs.

excactly, sounds like you know the deal. To fix it for my board, I cleaned up all the links in the config so that I'm only using one method. I also put in the redirect for anyone with bookmarks using the other method.
