Website login / detecting new post problems - fixed?

Tunari mentioned this over in another thread. The login issues seemed to be one problem, and also I noticed that ever since I set up the new domain name, new posts were no longer being flagged as new (either with the orange "new post" icon or via the "View posts since last visit" link). I think I have fixed the new posts issue, but if someone notices that new posts aren't being flagged, do me a favor and let me know.

Regarding the login issue - I think that should take care of itself if you access the board with the same address every time - i.e., don't come one time to www.naeldor.com/naeldorforums , and the next time to www.klinehome.com/naeldor/naeldorforums . Technically, they are the same place accessed with a domain pointer, but I don't think your login cookies carry between the two addresses.

A final note - if you have trouble with login or identifying new posts, first try clearing your cookies, your cache, and your history, close your browser, and then start back up and login again.

So you talk to yourself and what do you know /
You answer back with a "Don't say so?"

Also, you will probably have better luck with the forums tracking your "already read" threads if you access the forums at www.naeldor.com/naeldorforums instead of at the old address, www.klinehome.com/naeldor/naeldorforums . Without going into details, even though they are actually the same place, it has to do with how cookies are managed by the server.

...all working fine for me for quite some time (btw. I'm using the konqueror browser, if that's of interest for you).
