Invision Board and subdomains
I've an older IPB installed, before Scripta, that was simply placed in a folder, i.e., /public_html/forum. For gathering stats I created a subdomain of forum.plexiprs.com.
All has been going well, but now some of the users are reporting problems with the board requiring logging in at each visit and other issues seemingly related to cookies. Anyone have any experience with these types of problems? They all started right after the last DOS attack on BEE server. Thanks,

It seems no one has experience with these issues, but I can tell you that Invision Power Board doesn't like being in a subdomain, at least mine didn't.
I removed the subdomain and all the user issues with log-ins, log-outs, cookies, etc., have vanished !! User beware !

Nuke has same issues when Spoofing. I would bet that if you tried www.domain.com/subsystem it would work whereas subsystem.domain.com does not right?

Euuuh, if you set up a subdomain, you should change your forum path in you ipb settings.
You will have to make a choice. Cause there will always be some users who need to log in in everytime Or you set up http://subdomain.host.com as board url, or u enter http://www.host.com/forumdir/ If you know all your users use the subdomain url, then set the board path to this url greets

Yep, changed all the board settings to reflect the subdomain, but some users still had to log in each time. Some didn't have a problem, and a couple reported that they could never log out !! Seemed to be related to cookies, but dried up the moment the subdomain was taken out of play.
