Hi, my site uses a short url, which stays in the address bar as users navigate around. This is not a problem until they navigate to the forum. when they login they get login confirmation but then are redirected back to the login page (no logout available).

the temp fix i am using is to open the forum in a _blank target (new window) - apologies if my terminology is lame, im no webwizard! -

so, does anyone have a solution either to code into the forum, or to stop the short url from displaying?

thanks in advance,
rob

This sounds like you are using frames then. Framed sites don't play nicely with 3rd party cookies. There is not much you can do about this without some clever coding or changing ones IE security which I strongly discourage. Do you have a link so I can look at what you're describing?

hiya, yeh the shortcut url is

http://wakeup.to/bacardi

the long version is http://latinquarter.net4students.co.uk/index.html

with the forum at http://latinquarter.net4students.co.uk/forum/default.asp

You can use

user: test
pass: testing

in the forum as a check.

I guess its not the end of the world having it open in a new window. It just means that ie with sp2 needs to be set to allow popups.

thanks

is it that important that you cloak the longer url with the shorter one?

I just answered this question for someone recently. if you're using a short url service that's fine, but break out of frames once you get to your page. That can easily be done by inserting this little snippet of code to your page.

<script language="JavaScript">
 if (parent.frames.length > 0) {
 parent.location.href = location.href;
}
</script>
