ok found the problem its cookies in sessions.php

i comment this out and it worked,
but is there a better way of doing it i sure its not safe

thanks

Code:

/*if ( isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename . '_sid']) || isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename . '_data']) )


   {


      $session_id = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename . '_sid']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename . '_sid'] : '';


      $sessiondata = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename . '_data']) ? unserialize(stripslashes($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename . '_data'])) : array();


      $sessionmethod = SESSION_METHOD_COOKIE;


   }


   else


   {


      $sessiondata = array();


      $session_id = ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['sid']) ) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['sid'] : '';


      $sessionmethod = SESSION_METHOD_GET;


   }*/

Why is that an error ? I´ve never comment out the sessions and it works fine.In the phpBB forums configuration is also something about sessions. Are all your topics with session ids ?

yes , well i just found the problem i never comment this out before but this works

remove the sid from

Code:

if ( !empty($SID) && !eregi('sid=', $url) && !areyouabot() )

now it works better. Very Happy

I meant the cookie domain in the phpBB forums configuration. But thats´s better.
