It's the way htaccess is setup I believe, but who knows since I didn't do it, but I presume each separate directory asks for an htaccess login. I usually go to http://www.photopost.com/members/forum/index.php to login via htaccess and then login to the
vB forums. The htaccess popup can use a different username/password than the forums, which is fine by me because I really wouldn't want my htaccess login info as my forum login info. What I don't like about the htaccess setup here at PP is that you are required to login multiple times should you go to http://www.photopost.com/members/members.pl and want to download the scripts. I like how
vB's login system is set, one login for the forums, one login for the member area. This having to open and close browsers to get the different PP downloads bites, and it is not yet clear to me if "Renew Members Area Access" means that you have to pay once, twice, or thrice, depending on how many of the PP scripts you bought.
