Login issues - Resolved

After a little work, I have managed to get the login from this (The main screen) to transfer over to the forums, with a few quirks: 1. If you log directly into the forums, you will have to log in manually to the main website, the transfer is one way, for now, so it will work Site -> Forums, but not Forums -> Site. 2. If you are logged into both, but manually log out of the forums, it will A) not log you out of the Site, and B) you will have to manually relog into the forums until the next time you log into the Site (i.e., clicking on the forums link on the main site will not log you into the forums again, you would have to relog) I will be working on correcting these quirks (design issues with the software we are using) but it is not a primary concern. If you had a different password or id for the forums than your regular site ID, you may have to try both passwords in order to log into the site/forums. This is because the information is stored in different databases and must be synchronized. This is what was causing the previous login issues. I am working on setting it up so you cannot register for the forums directly from the forums, so in the future, registration through the main site will be required. I hope to have these issues resolved by mid next week. Thanks, Shef
