Forum seems to keep cookies (means, logins) separate whether you are on

http://rollitup.org
or
https://www.rollitup.org

I go on rollitup.org, I am not logged in. Then I switch to www.rollitup.org, I am logged in

Nothing major, but as a webmaster/SEO myself, one of the FIRST things I learned was that a website should exist *either* as www.site.com *or* site.com (and then properly redirect to the version that is used) but NEVER as two separate sites, like www. and without www.

(Or simple: Make a redirect that your site automatically redirects to the www.site.com when it's called without the "www" part. This is a one-liner of code, done in 30 seconds.

add to your hosting's .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]


From now on, when someone accesses http://yourdomain.com s/he will be redirected to http://www.yourdomain.com.

Something is amiss

I have bookmarks that now say I am not logged in. Yes they are lacking the www. (just checked thx 2 u)

Think this started last night / this morning.
