Are you IE users still having the log in issue? Wondering if the one fix fixed the other issue.

No... I'm still having the same problem logging on.

Bass-sic and others, are you trying to login from http://ernieball.com/forums/ or http://www.ernieball.com/forums/ ?

I'm noticing if the URL contains www I have no problems logging in, but if it doesn't include www then I experience what you are describing.

Make sure you are going to www.ernieball.com/forums/ and in the meantime I'll make it so going to the non-www url gets redirected to the full www url

I've set it so users attempting to go to http://ernieball.com/forums get redirected to http://www.ernieball.com/forums

Bass-sic try logging in now and let me know what happens.

I think I fixed the View First Unread issue. vBulletin can use cookies or the database to keep track of which posts you have read. The old method was cookies. The newer method is to store the info in the database.

from what I'm reading the SEO mod I installed on the forum can have issues with the cookie based method.

I just switched our forum to use the newer database method.

The "View First Unread" is now working like a charm using IE 6. Thanks!!!!!

you could also find where the cookie is being set and change the code so cookies apply to anythingAtAll.ernieball.com

search for "setcookie" and set the 5th parameter to '.ernieball.com'

Arin, are you recommending the Wookie tweak the cookie?

Hahahahahahahahahaha I couldn't resist man.

That was the next plan if the redirect didn't cure it. The redirect is more in line with my SEO strategy. And by strategy I mean more like "I wonder what this button does?"

Could one say that you were in a BIND?

I'm noticing when I click on new posts I get about 10 pages of unread pages showing up even if I have read them. Also when I post and then click on new posts I then can't find that thread...

he he. ive done a ton of SEO. do a google search for stuff like:

"adam sandler news"
"megadeth news"
"san mateo news"
"airline news"
"watne's world news"
"san louis obispo news"
"Perl news"

notice a particular site that's reliably in the top 5? I used to work that. i'll give ya whatever pointers I can. its not a science or anything but certain things work pretty well
