The main site is based on Drupal, and the forum is based on vBulletin, and they have been linked together so that people do not have to make a separate ID for both. That's why some problems do occur on login.
It would be good to login from the main site, and then get over to the forum.
I follow these simple steps, and do not get any problem with login. Hope someone will benefit from them.
I always login first to the main TSA site. Then I go over to the forum. After a certain period of time, when the forum login expires... it asks to login again. The forum login will expire after a few minutes, unless you login using "Remember me" option. This behavior I have seen on many forums. Its a security feature I think.
After the login expires, I click on the main forum link, and then I click the link : "Visitors in the last 24 hours"... its available at the end of page. There, I get a login screen with a "Remember me" checkbox. The basic idea is to access a login page with that checkbox, which I get from the "Visitors in last 24 hours" link. Someone may get that page from other link too. After I select that checkbox, and login again... I can stay on forum for hours without any problem.
While logging out, I logout from the forum, and it automatically logs me out of the main site too. Only sometimes, I do not get logged out of the main site that way... don't know whats the cause of that. Happens rarely though.
