I'm using API with the current forum release. When someone clicks "Register" or "Login" on the forum, they are redirected to the specified API page. However, when they click "Reply", they get the forum login page, not the API one. I'll fix it on my end with a redirect, but can you fix it in future forum releases so I don't have to go back and keep changing it?

Thanks!!

The API is intended to be used with your own system with it sending messages server side to the API and not intended to be used directly by your visitors.

Once you have used the API to create the members account server side you then need to read back server side the login code which you then use to create your own session variables and cookies to login the user.

Right, I understand that. I've specified the API login URLs in the functions_member_API.asp file:

Const strMemberAPILoginURL = "URL-for-loginpage.asp"

Const strMemberAPIRegistrationURL = "URL-for-registration.asp"
Const strMemberAPILogoutURL = "URL-for-logout.asp"

If someone clicks on "Login" option on any of the forum pages, they are properly redirected to the URL specified above. But when someone clicks on "Reply" they are not taken to the login page specified in the first variable above, but rather the forum login.

Sorry I understand now you are not using the HTTP API but the Member API.

Will look in to this.
