    WHT Forum bug

    Don't know where else to post this..

    Anyways, ever since I registerd, I had this bug.
    I never posted about it, because well, i'm not that active.

    Here's the bug:

    Ok, I go to webhosting-talk.com, try to login.
    I enter my details correctly, and then it takes me to the page where it says...redirecting (you know, the one after you login correctly).

    Now, the thing is, it redirects me to the forum index and well, I'm not logged in.
    I try again, same thing happens.

    I tried it in multiple browsers, Firefox and opera.

    The only way I can login, is by using this link (only works in opera due to it saving logins) http://www.webhostingtalk.com/profil...o=editpassword

    After I do that, I just click on "WebHostingTalk Forums:" to the left and i'm logged in the main index.


    Gah, I know its weird.
    Please help.
    Also, I'll try to take a video on this *looks for the camera*

    Anyways, I have a feeling this is caused because of my own fault...somehow, seeing as the thousands of other WHT members logs in fine

    if it isnt what ub3r said it maybe because you are useing cacheing proxy, i had similar issues because my ISP forces browser requests to go through their cacheing proxy and whoever set it up didnt have a clue as it cahces basically everything :/

    so now i have to use ? or F5 quite a bit

    Smile

    I didn't know webhosting-talk.com exist

    Why would you go to a longer name instead of a shorter one?

    Yeah we get a few queries at the helpdesk like that, WHT works, but other domains connected don't for some reason.

    wh-t is only like 1 character longer!

    Besides, I my friend sent me a link to this forum long time ago and the link was http://webhosting-talk.com

    I thought it didnt matter.

    Anyways, question was answered, so lock away!

    It seems like a cookie issue with that site......

    I tired logging in thru webhosting-talk.com and my cookie wasnt holding (I kept getting dropped)

    I wonder if its a DNS issue..... (That should just redirect to www.webhostingtalk.com and not try and act as a 2nd site,its not working..)

    Wouldn't be too hard to do:
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.webhostingtalk.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.webhostingtalk.com/$1 [R,L]
    Something I use myself actually in remote servers (uk,au), redirecting thing to my monitor site.

    Enter domains in the form of .domain.com (including the leading dot). Seperate multiple domains by line breaks.
    It's a default feature and we have not yet had a chance to create a whilelist of domain names.

    Lightbulb

    Why not just forward that URL to our main site Prohacker??

    Someone typing in www.webhosting-talk.com would be re-directed to www.webhostingtalk.com ???

    For example if someone clicks here > http://tinyurl.com/53ea8 < they will be forwarded to > http://www.webhostingtalk.com <
