Taking away the redirect and just allowing everyone to goto www.ppcgeeks.com eliminates the problem, hence why most folks are now suddenly working.

Hope this explanation helps,

ppcgeeks.com points to the portal and forum.ppcgeeks.com points to the forums. In vB the default option for cookies is to use the URL you access the site with. So if you get here using forum.ppcgeeks.com, that's how the cookie will be saved.

I just changed it to save cookies as .ppcgeeks.com, so now it shouldn't matter what URL you use to access the site, but you might still have to clear your cookies for this to correct itself.
