Sign into site and forms

This has probably been asked before, but why is it that when you sign into the site, you aren't signed into the forms, or visa versa. Because you know people give you links to cool AMVs on the site and then when you go to DL them the site says you have to log in, and then when you do you are taken to the members main page and have to find your way back to the video. Why is this? And can it be fixed? Please!

I don't think so because other siter aren't partners of AMV in most of the case... My advice : copy the link when you try to download. If you have to register, register and put the link after...

I think it is because PHPBB uses other methods of keeping it's data - getting the good data out of there is not easy!

Not really...

...the .org login already works off the phpbb database to retrieve login data, and from there it's really just a matter of http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

If it's on the to do list we'll get to it!

I didn't know you were part of the site's administration.
