Hi,

I've set up a forum at http://www.icspace.co.uk/orsettvillage/bulletinboard/default.asp and all is well.

However, I've just bought the domain name www.orsettvillage.co.uk and am redirecting it to www.icspace.co.uk/orsettvillage" target="_blank">http://www.icspace.co.uk/orsettvillage .

When I go via orsettvillage.co.uk and log on, it says it's successful, but when it returns me to the forum it's still asking me to log in.

I presume this is to do with cookies and effectively having two URLs. Adding the following code to my home page enables me to log on, but I lose the URL masking (it shows the long icspace.co.uk URL in the address bar).

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

Is there another way around this?

Thanks,

Jackie :)

no. because cookies are domain specific and the way you are diverting them using frames is why it doesn't work.

Thanks for the reply. Oh well, at least people can logon now, it's just a shame that it's lost the URL masking as that would have been nice.

why is the masking important? as long as you share the friendly url name with people and they can get to your site, the rest is pretty insignificant. most will not even notice.
