I hope I'm posting to the right spot.

After logging on anytime that I select a link in a thread to another thread on this board I get a logon page. I noticed another member mentioning the same thing in a post in Mili's Video section.

Just wondering if it's something on my end, although I can't think what it may be?

Thanks.
 
The only thing I can think of right now is that maybe those links have the IP address (140.99.102.195) instead of the site name (www.buckeyeplanet.com). The reason why this would prompt you to log in is because the cookie generated when you first logged on to the site is for www.buckeyeplanet.com and not 140.99.102.195, so when you link to the IP instead of the site name your browser thinks it's a different site--when actually it's not--because it doesn't match what's in the cookie.

I've seen this happen before, so I'm guessing that's the cause...
