What browser are you using? you could try a different one. I'm using Google Chrome - Has lots of cool features like automatic Google search for anything typed into the address bar, highlighting text gives you an option to search Google for that word in new tab. Highlighting a url and right-clicking lets you open that site in a new tab. very small and light-weight. Uses much less RAM than IE. The tab interface is great, and all the toolbars hide automatically, giving you the most screen room for the content. Never had the login problem. Also, the latest version has a built-in Flash player. Give it a shot - it's free.

make sure you are going to http://www.mdshooters.com and not http://mdshooters.com - some browsers will auto type in from history..

when you hit the forums link, it switches the site to http://www.mdshooters.com/forum.php?

Indeed. I have www.mdshooters.com bookmarked, so even if I start typing in mdshooters, I end up in the right place.

I can honestly say that I have never witnessed this issue, and it has nothing to do with me being the site owner. Over the years I've logged on from Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, and and iPad, using IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. I don't doubt that it happens, but I can't seem to reproduce it. If someone comes up with a repeatable combo of browser/OS, please let me know as I'd like to figure out what is going on.

again, only issue is when you go to mdshooters.com and not www.mdshooters.com and log in.. the login redirect puts you back to mdshooters.com which the site login is probably not set up for. cookie probably (properly) set up for www. - going to www.mdshooters.com works fine on any browser/OS

My bookmark in favorites takes me to mdshooters.org. No www.

I log in and it puts me back at login and I just click on classifieds and then I can get to the regular home page.

if you were to re-bookmark it as www. it would probably also remember you if you save passwords in the browser..

Sweet. I used to have to hit login, then forums, then home, before It would take me to the actual home screen.

Thanks!
