| Hi This is probably an obvious question and the answer will be documented somewhere but i'm just trying to understand how InstantForum authenticates an user on a per page basis. Like when you go to the Default.aspx page on a fresh install, you can see a single public forum - "InstantForum.NET v4.1.4" and a user can go into a topic and view it. However, if you click on the reply/quote/... buttons then you are prompted to log in to the system. Can anyone explain how this is coded? I have a developer license through work and i've looked at the code behind for the pages that require the user to log in and i've compared them to the pages that don't require the user to log in but i can't see any difference. As i said, this is probably an obvious question. Thanks in advance Kev

We use the built in .Net forms authentication system, you'll be able to find extensive documentation on how this works all over the internet.

| Hi Sorry, i didn't really explain myself very well. I understand the forms authentication business, however what i don't understand is how the forum determines whether a user has permission to do certain tasks - like posting replies, etc - and when is the user redirected to the login page (when the page loads or when the user clicks a button) Hopefully this sounds a bit clearer Regards Kev
