FAO Admin: Can't login to albums

    I posted this yesterday in the subscribers forum but since not many people seem to look in there I just thought I would try here:
    Hi, I paid my subscription today and I'd like to upload an image for my signature. When I try to login to the album section http://albums.boards.ie/ I enter my username and password as I normally would and it seems to be accepted but i am then returned to the front page of the album section and the username / password fields are blank and I don't seem to be logged in.

    Any ideas what might be wrong?

    Actually, I think I've noticed the issue.

    The URL for the photopost is now albums.boards.ie. Thus if, you access it from www.boards.ie where you've been logged in, you don't have a valid cookie for the host/domain, and so the photopost doesn't recognise you as being logged in.

    That's not a huge issue, but the login form on the photopost actions to www.boards.ie/vbulletin/login.php. Thus when you "log in" from the photopost, it accepts your credentials, but gives you a valid cookie for www.boards.ie, and redirects you to albums.boards.ie where that cookie is no longer valid. :)

    Acc. to PhotoPost support, you can't have them on separate servers but it seems to work fine now with that extra login page - as long as people know about it... But maybe their new version fixes this.

    I'm looking at Gallery 2 integration for BJP, may be a better option...

    I find gallery 2 very slow on the database server, with say only 300 or so pics it loads very slowly
