Logging in doesn't work because of some thing in vb that restricts logins to a specific list of domains that are configurable by the admin. I guess prohacker has to do that.

So why have the same forum under two different domains? What if someone tries to register through that site?

If they register there, chances are they should be able to contimue logging in. But they may have a problem logging in here.

makes sense. Thank you :)

Isn't this just a simple redirect? Many sites do that. And you are not logged in because the URL is different.

Theres a vBulletin setting called the "Post Referrer Whitelist" that...

For security purposes, vBulletin only allows data to be submitted via post from within the domain the board is installed on. If you are submitting post requests from a different domain or subdomain, you must add them here.


WHT simply needs to add .webhostingforum.com to the whitelist and we should be able to login from webhostingforum.com or webhostingtalk.com and post fine.

There I finally broke down and wrote the rewrite rules so everything redirects to webhostingtalk.com. They don't call me the slacker for nothing :)

But iNet needs to register webhostingfourm.com now and have it redirect here! :rofl:
