Hey Daniel when I try to scroll through my last viewed pages by using the back button the forum asks me to "log in" after 3-4 views!! Last time I was here I "logged in" about 5 times!! I do not know what the problem is! I am currently using Mozilla version 2.0.0.14. Thought that would help!!

Let me know if clicking on "Remember me" fixes the issue.

@Daniel, I had this kind of a problem. Check cookie path. If it is root ( / ), it might conflict with WordPress.

Then again, who am I to tell you what to do? :D

With my years of experience administrating vBulletin forums I've found this fixes the issue most of the time. Generally when it's one member having the problem, checking the "Remember me" box clears it up.

I've seen this with WordPress and when forums use subdomains (which isn't the case here). An incorrect cookie path can, in a worst case scenario, cause login loops. Another option to look at is the cookie expiration timer. If the value is set too low members will have to login again before sending any data, such as submitting a post or thread. Nothing is more horrifying then dumping time and effort into writing something and losing it because the cookie timed out. :eek:

The problem is solved, but at least there are a few other options to consider if a new one isn't corrected by clicking the box. :D
