Topic: users who click a posted internal link are directed to the login/index
only happens sometimes, the most recent was a link to a post not a thread.
if they login again and go back to the link it works.
why is this and can it be fixed?
thanks!

Probably people linking between the www/non-www versions of your site. Either fix the cookie domain or make one redirect to the other (the latter being the better option).

the internal links (when copied and pasted) dont have www so I should make them redirect with www? In the control panel I assume? How do I change the cookie seed?
Re: users who click a posted internal link are directed to the login/index
Not the cookie seed, the cookie domain in config.php. And there's lots of ways to set up URL redirecting, Google is your friend.

There's no need to be rude. 
You pick which one you want to redirect to. If the internal links don't have www for you, that means you must be visiting without using www. If that's how you want everyone to visit, you can redirect that way. If you need more specific instructions (eg: mod_rewrite stuff to do it) I can provide that for you, although as I said, it's a fairly easy to find topic.
