I login in as admin user 1 in www.mysite.com and the while testing used mysite.com now I am not recognized as logged in.

Seems to me this should be one and same perhaps a session variable issue or cookie thing or an error in logic. I haven' messed with .htaccess yet (actually I did but screwed things up so returned it to pristine)

At one point I was logged in twice as admin and couldn't seem to log out both until I realized I needed to return to each url with and without www so I could then log out.

Any thoughts.
