Is the general Thrillnetwork site login supposed to be tied into the vBulletin forum login automatically?
The behavior I'm seeing is that the two logins are separate. When logged into the site and visiting the forum, I see that I am not logged into the forum. That is, I see a "Please log into your account" message at the top of the page, with a link to a login page. Interestingly, the login page appears either to not work or perhaps it's just re-logging me into the general Thrillnetwork site and not the forum.
The only way I can actually log into the forum is to perform a forum action like reply to a post or view a member's profile. By doing so, I get a vBulletin login page, "You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page," and by using the login form on that page I am able to log into the forum.
Interestingly, logging into the vBulletin forum also logs me into the general site. But, it doesn't work in the opposite direction. My expectation of the correct behavior is that by logging into the site, I should also be logged into the forum without having to do anything else. Perhaps there is something that is supposed to be happening in the back end that isn't?
The two login page forms are different. The general login page:
<form action="login.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="login" ...>
<input type="password" name="password" ...>
The vBulletin login page:
<form action="login.php?do=login" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, ...)">
<input type="text" name="vb_login_username" .../>
<input type="password" name="vb_login_password" .../>
