Ie both .com and .co.uk ?

I've no idea how many times I've clicked on a link that someone's posted to another topic and been presented with the login screen cos I'm on .com and they've linked to .co.uk irkedwink

We will be rebuilding the parser soon and one of the changes we will be including it to make all PH links point to whatever version you are currently using.

This should be quite a simple change, and will be much easier to do and have less overhead than doubling the number of cookie writes.

And in any case you can't set cookies for another domain without throwing up a browser warning.

We are looking at redirecting all users to the .com domain instead of having multiple .co.uk and .com to help with this issue too, as well as changing the parser to cope.

There are also problems when people don't use the www infront of the domain name too, just to add to the mix, or if they use www.track-days.co.uk which also links to us. smile
