Username recognition & Login form on all forumdisplay, showthread pages

[theflow]

I want username recognition (if logged in) or log-in form (if not logged in) in all pages of those templates. Forumhome is already done, and I thought I could just re-use that code on the other 2 templates. Not so.

1. Here's my site's "Forum Home" page: www.theflow.com/forums
This is close to how I want it to look, but I want to be able to move the positioning of "Mark All Forums Read". Seems tied to the "not-logged-in" variable state display.

Please use this username for easy access, and to help me solve the problem below:
username: test
password: test
------------------------------------------------------------
2. Here was my best attempt to use code from the FORUMHOME template and insert it into FORUMDISPLAY template.

If logged in, it's more or less working, but I can't control the spacing and font color.
If not logged in, vB is drawing from some other variable or specification I can't find, and it displays a username & password field, but no submit button. How can I fix that, and also change/control the words displayed for either state (logged-in, not logged in)?
