Chris,
Please bear with me, I think I have discovered a few useful things. I will place the Carousel issue on hold and only address the BUY IT problem that was taking users to my Forum Home Page.

First, I was apparently experiencing a conflict with a (javascript) Google type Translation Button I placed in the header. It was contributing to what I will explain. Note - I am experimenting with and older version and the newest, but the issue I am trying to explain is the same for both at this point.

I have things set so non-logged in users can only "use" (see) the classifieds. So when I view them as a user I see the "Please Login or Register to be able to Post and Bid in our Classifieds" under the Nav Bar. When I click on that message it takes me to the Home Page where I register and then everything is fine as to the BUY IT problem. Is that how it should be? I would think I should be taken to the log in page.

However, when the Translate Button is in the header, for some reason I can be logged in on the forum and when I go to the Classified, it doesn't recognize that I am logged in - because I still see the message under the NavBar to log in. I just noticed that. So when I click on BUY IT, I am apparently taken to where it wants me to log in - or in this case I am again taken to my Home Page as the link to where I sign in.

So, if you understand me, I think this problem is only the result of the link from the classifieds (in both the old and new version) to a place to log in is a link to my default home page, and not the log in page.

The issue now is that with the older classifieds version logging in on the forum is honored in the classified. But in the newer version, if I log in to the forum and go to the classified, it doesn't know I am logged in. In fact I can't seem to log in to the classified at all. Please see the attachment.

FYI - I believe the Carousel problem goes away when I take the Translate Button away. I'll worry about that later.
