Carl,
how about you open all three sites, and tick "Remember Me"

[weisyboy]

i have already done that. iv always been set to remember me on all urls.

i jsut haev to open them and close them again and all is good.

This multiple logon stuff is bloody silly.

I realise that search engines send people to the older forums, but why not just disable them for posting and have everything new under the one forum?

[BobL]

Actually carl, it's a new idea I have to "mess with your mind" . . . .

[weisyboy]

its not just your pics bob. its anyones that are not on the .com url.

I agree. You don't have to actually disable anything though. You can set up rewrite rules to automatically redirect users to the main .com domain and keep the full URL intact.

So for example, if someone goes to www.woodworkforums.ubeatu.com.au/blah/this/, it will redirect them to www.woodworkforums.com/blah/this.

That way, previously indexed search results and other sites that link to this one will all still work correctly. Search engines will actually update their indexes if you do this correctly by using a 301 Redirect.

Just my thoughts - but happy to help someone out with the technical stuff if you like.

Cheers,
Af.
