So this has probably been brought up, but....why do we have to log into the front page [i][b]AND[/b][/i] the forums separately?

Short answer: Because they are separate login mechanisms.

The mainsite login is our own process, but the forums login is stock phpBB2.

It is technically possible to combine them, but requires a lot of work.

Well, I knew they were separate...I suppose my question was really this: Since the site has been around a while...why hasn't that been done a long time ago because this is one of the few sites I use that require you to log in to multiple faucets of their own site, short of sites that are used to manage money, and that's for security reasons.
