Hi guys,
 
First of all thx for a great forum app, I really like it and will be suplying updated icons in danish at a later date Smile
 
I recently installed my forum and everything seems to be working allright, except for one thing.
 
If I go to my forum using www, ex:
it wont let me login, keeps saying that I have some cookie problems.
 
However, if I go into the forum without www, ex:
then the login works flawlessly.
 
Anybody who has an idea as to what the problem could be?
 
Thx in advance,

The problem is when you visit those two URLs, your browser is creating two actual cookies. One for www.myforum.dk and one for myforum.dk. It does this because www. is actually a subdomain.

What I did was create a permanent redirection in IIS to go to my website at www.sidrahq.com, rather then http://sidrahq.com (you can click that to see for yourself).

If I login to my personal admin page via http://sidrahq.com, it'll work fine. If I visit the webpage as www.sidrahq.com it will appear as though I am NOT logged in while http://sidrahq.com does.

Also the reason why www.myforum.dk does not work is probably because you're forum settings are using www.myforum.dk and some are using myforum.dk. Might want to check into that.

This is NOT a bug in the WebWiz forums, though.
