Problem with link in the notification email.

Post by Misfit »

Just worked out, but been noticing for a while, that if I use the link in a notification email it wants me to login every time eg:

http://yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7 ... &e=1598498

However it I add a www to the start of the link then it remembers that I am logged in. eg:

http://www.yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?f=5 ... &e=1598498

Is it possible to change the links in the notification emails?

Yes, the links in the email notifications seem to change back and forth, arbitrarily, between "yakyak.org" and "www.yakyak.org".

Which triggers the other problem folks have been mentioning about having to login again, because "yakyak.org" and "www.yakyak.org" are not the same address.

I can't detect any obvious pattern to this either, as notifications for the same thread have used both addresses on different occasions. Sometimes the link has "yakyak.org" and sometimes "www.yakyak.org". It all seems rather random, to be honest.

Sometimes, even links which include the 'www.' are requiring a new login.
