Session / Cookie Issue?

Is anyone else use to typing in talkphp.com and missing off the deprecated www?

I just noticed if I login under http://talkphp.com/ then when I click some links that divert me to http://www.talkphp.com/ then I am logged out because the cookie cannot track me.

I'm not sure if this is a vBulletin issue and it's just a simple config change.

I think your the cookies are being set like this:

PHP Code:


			
setcookie('cookiename', $cookieid, time()+60*60*24*5, '/');

instead of:

PHP Code:


			
setcookie('cookiename', $cookieid, time()+60*60*24*5, '/', '.talkphp.com');

or you could create a .htaccess file to reroute all requests for http://www.talkphp.com/ to just http://talkphp.com/

Your probably all going to say just use the "www.", but I hate using it. It's not like it's needed any more anyway.

Any chance we could get this fixed?

Thanks!

Good point. It would appear that when Karl installed vBSEO, he overwrote the 301 redirection from the non-www version to the www version. I'll get right on it and sort that out now. Thanks for pointing it out!
