Logging in through forums

[kjetilh]

I've noticed that the Main Menu and the forum is behaving kind of... funky... together...

First off, I'm using Mozilla 1.4b. What I'm experiencing is that if I start up a fresh browser window (not cached or anything) and visit the Jboss site, I can click on everything but the "Forums" top menu link, and the Main Menu will show the login form all the time. But as soon as I click on "Forums" (http://www.jboss.org/jive.jsp) I get logged in both in the "Forums" and in the "Main Menu". I think that I should be logged through the Main Menu as soon as I visit the site the first time.

I haven't looked into it, but it may be a cookie thing or something related, I don't know.

Actually, I've found out a bit more on what's happening.

I'm kind of lazy when it comes to writing urls, so I write "http://jboss.org", without the "www". What happens on all the links on the top menu besides Forums, is that the url adresses are relative to what I wrote. That is, they all start with "http://jboss.org". But the Forums link is an absolute path with the "www" in front.

So when I write "http://www.jboss.org" I get logged in immediately. Why this is so, I don't know. Maybe I registered myself without the "www" in front.
