On number 1 the issue is that the user selects Remember Login and, in this case, on successful login is directed to a Registered User only page, not the Home Page, which is correct.
When done they automatically click Logout, yes, I know that cancels the Remember Login setting, but that is counter intuitive to the average user. They see Logout and have been trained that if you see a Logout, you better Logout.
Now, another problem is that if we do get them to not Logout, just close the browser, which in many cases they have been told not to do, and go to lunch, the Remember Login will work correctly. Except, in this case, when they come back from lunch and go to the site, yes the Login was remembered, they are brought to the Home Page and cannot now get to the Registered User only page. Any ideas on how to work around this would be much appreciated.
On number 2 it sounds like you have solved that one. Makes sense. Many Thanks.
