Exclamation Alert: Reducing Number of Active Users!

The Number of Active members in the Forum was about 5000 till some days(about a month) ago. I have been noticing that that the number of active users in decreasing day by day although the total number of members is increasing.

Current Active Members: 4,133

I have noticed a strange problem while logging in to the forum. Same problem is with the women's forum also.

Most regular members dont logout often - so dont notice this.

The forum is popular by the name of indiabroadband.net

Many people browse sites without the www in the url.

Now ... When trying to log into "indiabroadband.net" ... the login doesnt works. the same page(logged out) is shown even when a user tries to log in. This can be very confusing and can drive away some new or less active users.

The login works fine when logging in to "www.indiabroadband.net".

This can be a reason of the reducing number of Active members.

Admin ... Plz solve the issue. Time to put your Webmaster Hat on

Yes ... clicking on any link does it. when we click on any link - the url contains "www". Actually when we try to login to http://indiabroadband.net ... The login work actually happens but still shows the logged out page. After clicking any link of the forum ... the logged in page is shown.

It is the way the cookie is stored in your computer. The cookies is always stored with the "www" prefix.

When logging in without prefixing 'www', it cannot find the cookie and hence asks to login again.

All internal links are to the website with the 'www' prefix. Hence when you click, 'today's posts', the cookie is used and you are taken to the website with "logged in" status.

This was explained by Admin some time ago.

Bottomline: Always login to URL with the "www" prefix. You will never have this problem.

Ya. That we can understand. But, it can be confusing for new members. http://indiabroadband.net/ can be redirected to http://www.indiabroadband.net/ to solve the issue. Whenever someone tries to open http://indiabroadband.net/ it should be redirected to http://www.indiabroadband.net .

@j4k

What do you think is the reason behind reducing number of Active Users!?

That might be some problem with the cookie settings of your browser. Make sure cookies are enabled.

It may not be a problem at all. Just a bug or the way the VB software calculates active members.
