yes that is correct. it does just re-direct to a register page. and to be honest, i'd just ignore this and let it slide because it really doesn't bother me atall.
in actually, it's the owner of the site, (whom i work for, kinda) who really hates it.

(i don't get paid, he's my friend and i'm just helping him out because i believe in the purpsoe of his forum too and i think it's nice)
so yah. it'd be great if someone could tell me how to get rid of it.
OR,
can teach me the proper way to use the <if> tags to make it so that logged off users get a diffrent width than logged in users. they werne't working for me at all sadly no matter how i re-arranged them.
