The cause of this problem probably has something to do with the cookie settings as @peregrine said. You can search these forums for more information about the cookie settings.

You have said that you are using the version of Vanilla from the Vanilla GitHub repository, which is the development version of Vanilla from the master branch. The development version is not ready for production use.

Using a development version of any software is the root cause of many problems. Many new features are not finished and bugs have not been found and fixed yet. If you want to use a development version, it would be helpful to know how to debug problems like those you have posted about.

Instead, please use the stable version of Vanilla, where it has been tested in many production environments. The stable version of Vanilla is currently 2.0.18.10 and has less problems.

anything besides 2.1bx and 2.0.18.x - you really need to know what you are doing, otherwise you are just wasting your time and everyone elses's - file problems on github as V said.

Ok then you are on your own in this forum. Please open an issue where you downloaded the software at Github which is what the Vanilla team wants you to do. We do not use the alpha software and can't test or troubleshoot . Only people who are experienced developers of vanilla should use it. And file issues in the proper place.
