Hi, Our members complain that they have problem staying login. They have to relogin when posting which is pain. I thought this problem would be solved by migrating from classic 6.7.3 to threads 7.3.1. How come this can happen? It happens to me also very ofthen on http://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm but not on this forum.

This appears to be a cookie problem, I have it with only certain user but others users have no problem. The users may have to make a cookie exception in their browser to accept all cookies for that domain name.

Likely the user is going to your site as (and logging in to) http://yoursite.tldOnce they login, they're redirected to your "full url" you set in your CP; which forces them to have to login again, as the "full url" ( http://www.yoursite.tld) is seen as a different domain than http://yoursite.tld and thus the cookie is invalid...

That sounds plausable. Would the HTTP Referer Check have any bearing on this?

No, that simply checks the allowed referrers for making posts or pm's... basically, form submissions. It has no effect on the login process or cross domain cookie issues; which is more a security issue with the webserver than anything else...
Fix would be to force users to either use www or no www via a .htaccess referrer trick (I think I posted one in the faq forum)
