 [RESOLVED] redirect vbforums url
I've seen a few threads here from people having problems with cookies across the different vbforums urls (www.vbforums.com, vbforums.com, etc). Wouldn't it be easier to just have the webserver redirect all urls to www.vbforums.com? This would seem to solve the problems as people would be logging in to the site from only www.vbforums.com.

Re: redirect vbforums url
You missed a few 
www.vb-forums.com
vb-forums.com
Yes that would be logical, but since cookies is not a big deal, why go through all the work of removing the websites just to add a redirect?

Re: redirect vbforums url
I would assume only having one database to manage would help.
I constantly get "invalid thread" errors and have to refresh or backup, and i have full cookie setting.

Re: redirect vbforums url
then that means all the urls are pointing to the same place anyway.

They all use the same database on the webserver. Cookies are handled by the client browser, not the webserver.

Re: redirect vbforums url
What exact problem are you referring to? I have had one or two odd instances where it told me i wasn't logged in while i was logged in a thread in another tab. Is that it?

Re: redirect vbforums url
Here is how it goes down:
Most people login at "vbforums.com" simply because it is shorter then adding the "www." at the beginning.
Then they click a link on in a post that goes to "www.vbforums.com/..." and at that url, the cookie is not saved, that it shows you as not logged in

Re: redirect vbforums url
www and non-www are on the same cookie now. Log out and back in again and you should be logged in to both

I can't seem to see the button to mark the thread as resolved 
The "Thread Tools" link just takes me to the bottom of the page, where i can't see any option for marking a thread "resolved".

I accidentally left the user-agent string as something else while doing some testing. Looks like googlebot doesnt support javascript
