@julian you are correct. Once again thank you for all the help on the IRC. I just got my forward set up. Getting everything geared up to announce to my community of followers that we are ready for registration.

@kevin just an idea, which actually helped me:

Edit your public/config.json file:

{
    "relative-path": "",
    "websocket": {
        "address": "198.199.96.7",
        "port": "4567"
    }
}

I'm not sure but maybe it's possible the websocket connection goes to some place it's not getting picked up.

Is this response regarding the domain situation which requires a login even if you already logged in to one of the other ones?

For instance. I visited californiamotorcycleforum.com which is @kevin website without the www. I then logged in using the californiamotorcycleforum.com domain. After I did that I visited www.californiamotorcycleforum.com (using the www) and it required me to log in again.

I have the same problem on my site. www.snapseepc.com and snapseepc.com both require a log-in, even if you have visited the other site already and logged in.

So I have tried messing with my DNS forwarding, and that doesn't seem to work. It may be because we are running nginx, I am not 100% sure on that though. the nodebb forums don't have this problem because the domain is always the same. community.nodebb.org - there is no www.community.nodebb.org .

I think that a solution might be to set up a forward in one of the config files, does anybody know how to do something like that? Make it so the snapseepc.com domain will always forward to www.snapseepc.com
