Error when logging in

[flphotog]

Anyone know why I always get this error the first time I log in:
Invalid Redirect URL (http://bladeforums.com/)

I log in a second time and get in just fine.

In your browser, clear your cached data for Bladeforums, and then enter www.bladeforums.com in your browser bar - make sure you use the WWW. prefix. See if that works and let me know.

Didn't help. Also just verified that I have the same issue in both Firefox and IE.

There are some settings in the vbulletin software regarding redirects -

It appears to me that the base forum url , www.bladeforums.com/forums redirects to www.bladeforums.com/forums/activity.php - not sure if this was intended or not.

There is also a base url in the admin panel - Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details -> Forum URL -

If the forum url there is not correct or the target does not exist, this redirect error can result, although I was never able to get the error to throw in any of my experiments.

I tried with IE and Chrome and several variations of the base url with no luck.

At least you are getting logged in successfully, and this is just a simple page error that you can just navigate away from until our admins have time to check it out.

Thanks, this gave me a work around, if I go to bladeforums.com/forums and not just bladeforums.com I don't get the redirect and can log in with no issues, thanks again.
