I recently upgraded to SMF 1.1 RC3 and cpg1.4.9 . In the process I added a new template to the SMF forum using this:
<div id="bbgallery" '.$mycode.'><a href="http://www.artdc.org/gallery/"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/blank.gif" alt="Gallery" style="margin: 0px; width: 65px; height: 24px;" border="0" /></div>
The link works and sends you to the gallery, but it shows up as if you aren't logged in.
In the news section there's a link <a href="http://artdc.org/gallery/">gallery</a> and that works and gives admin ability? Very strange. It's as if somethings getting lost? Thoughts?
http://artdc.org/forum/ or http://artdc.org/gallery

They link to different domains, that's why. Either use www or no www consistantly or enable subdomain independent cookies in SMF.
