vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Can users log in to forum from login on website page?

I was asked to see if it's possible to have users of our forum be able to simply login via a login on our website's homepage (apparently it's too much for them to remember the forum link

).

I've searched around and can't find what I'm looking for. Our website is really basic, just some htmland css, and our forum is closed to staff only. Only people with existing logins would be accessing the forum. So they hit the homepage, there would be a login somewhere and when they login they would be brought directly to the forum (without logging in again of course).

I'm not sure what to search for anymore. Can someone help? We're using 3.8 but upgrading to 4 soon-ish if that makes a difference.
