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 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.
