    I was informed that my login for vBulletin is not let letting users login. It redriects them saying they are logged in. But then the homepage shows them logged out. Last time this happend I am sure it was somethign to do with the sessions which I managed to fix. But now its back...

    Any idea on how to fix.

    Make sure the cookie domain is set to .websitename
    Edit the htaacess file and redirect http request to www. Or whatever you want. If you want the site name to be just http, then redirect www. to http.

    When the cookie domain is set to anything besides .websitename, going between www and http can make it look like the user is logged out. Because the cookie sees it as 2 different sites.

    Yea your users are most likely going to need to clear their current cookies from your site. Sometimes i've had the issue of where a new cookie won't get set or work after changing the settings without clearing them and getting all new ones.
