Pilot, that's a request for the UBB folks, not me.

Sure, but others told me it should remain as is because the screens, being different, draw attention to the them and also they only display briefly. But I see your point and shall consider it for next release.

HTML is up to the user. Do as you see fit and the example is more for the forms tags and not the layout. You missed the point of the example page if this bothers you, the example page is to remind folks to create a login page, what to include on it, and also how to call the script in the HTML. The rest is window dressing. So if you're bugged by this minor problem, send me a file you feel should be included in the docs. My time is better spent on improving the script.

You couldn't be more wrong. Don't take offense at this, please. The login script means ALL users login from a central starting point so the authorized cookie gets created so no bouncing. This is emphasized in the documentation as is this concept. I even went so far in the docs to stress folks should promot the login page URL, inform users to bookmark the new page, and that the login page is THE most important part. Obviously in your mind you completely missed this basic and crucial concept of my hack.
Pilot, I've listened to you, and addressed your concerns. If you have any other issues, please send them privately. I tremendously appreciate your feedback, as I do from all UBB webmasters, and appreciate you using the hack and saying nice things about it. Thanks so very much, and now I will move on to other folks issues.
Take care, Pilot. :-)
