I have my forum installed in a "forum" directory with the vbad index file in my root path.

The home page works fine, but if I login using the vbad side panel (not the vbulletin std login) while in my root path it looks like I login correctly, but it doesn't update the top header correctly. It still shows i'm not logged in yet I can post to boards like I am logged it. The stats show i'm logged in, but the vBad side panel doesn't show i'm logged in.

If I login using the vBulletin login at the top of the header, then everytrhing works fine?

I have seen a few different posts related to fixing paths in the STANDARD_ERRORS template (which I fixed already) and a link which was "login" and not "login.php".

I see another post relating to the cookie index needing 2 dots, which might be my problem. I am running this on a test dir with a 192.168.1.x address, so I cannot put .domainname.com etc. Yet I don't know if this is the true problem or not?

Since ths standard vbulleting login works fine. Should the vBad once show the login windows with the redirect? I don't see anything login window, it just reloads the index page again.

Well, it looks like it might be the cookie problem. Since my login only works when the cookie is blank, and I cannot set it since I am using a local ip. I will try transferring this site to a real domain and i'll try it again.

Okay, well I just tried the cookie fix and it didn't work. I still cannot get the vBad login to work correctly.

When I had that problem adding .domainname.net ( I have a .net domain ) fixed it right away.

I tried that also and it didn't seem to work. My only option now is to turn off the welcome module and force uses to use the main login. It was alittle weird showing both logins anyway.

It would be cool if the User CP only showed up if a user was logged in?

Then I could force them to use the top login, but then they could see their stats & avatar after login.

Just set that module not to be active for guests. ;)

Duh! - I just did that and now everything is perfect. Very nice mod. Still on my test site but I plan to have it run my entire website which is currently written in asp.

It would be nice if it could support child pages. I'll write up a different thread for that question.
