gallery issue....

[Da GoTTi]

ok here is the scenario...

when i am logged into the forum, and i goto the gallery, sometimes if i goto http://site.com/gallery it shows me not logged in.

i have to have the www. infront of the web address in order for the gallery to work correctly for me.

what is causing this my to keep going to http://site.com/gallery instead of www.site.com/gallery when i am moving around the gallery?

Da Gotti,

As far as cookies are concerned "site.com" and "www.site.com" are two different URLs so therefor your 'logged in cookie' doesn't work on both on them.

I recommend adding an htacces entry so that "site.com" redirects to "www.site.com" instead so that your URLs are consistent. If for some reason you really need both URLs to be valid then you want to change your cookie settings in the vBulletin ACP.

EDIT: Here's the .htaccess entry I'm using for the redirect at Cool Sci-Fi (so going to http://coolscifi.com redirects to http://www.coolscifi.com)...

i tried the htaccess edit and its not working. i can still goto the site without the www and it loads without the www.

At your main page or directly in one of your sub-folders like /forums or /gallery?

What about the cookie domain in VB? Is yours set to ".domain.com" (Note the lead 'dot')

[Da GoTTi]

no its set to blank

I do not have sub-domains on my setup.
- I use the RewriteRule to add the WWW in front of the domain name.
