Sorry about my previous post being a little vague.

I'm trying to create a file upload section to my website, but I only want registerd users from my forum to be able to upload. So I'm trying to password protect those upload pages using the vb login and cookies system.

If a vb cookie is already present the user should see the upload page. However, if they aren't logged in, the user should see a page that says, "You need to be a registered user to upload files. Enter username and password or register here." After they login on that screen they should see the upload page.

However, using the code at the top of this thread, the user doesn't see the upload page after logging in -- they are dumped at my forum's index page. An incorrect login has the same result (user is dumped at the forum index page).

In short, if the user is logging in from the forum, they should end up at the forum. If the user is logging in from the upload page, they should end up at the upload page.

Does that make sense?

Sorry for the long post.
