Hello

Why do we have to log in for each different language?
Shouldn’t we be able to post on any language forum by login only once?

Minor problem, but can be annoying for someone who likes to often use the different forums.

Cheers

What I can think of:

  • different database
  • different cookies
  • different sessions

It is possible to create a single cookie or single session regardless of the sub-domain but it is a PITA to implement, and usually causes more problems down the road than what advantages it can provide.

What they could have done was provide a single forum for all, and just let users set an option on which language forums they want to see. But it seems that it is not a feature of the forum software they are using, which is fangamer forums (though they can add it themselves).
