Spoke too soon on login form display question.
Commented out Edit Template: loginbox, and 'shortform' login display did seem to go away.
Came back later, opened forum, and shortform was back... yuck !
Obviously not sure whats going on.
Guess need to sleep on it... again !  

Finally seems like found the longform would like to use...
error_nopermission

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

{$lang->error_nopermission_guest_1} <ol> <li>{$lang->error_nopermission_guest_2}</li> <li>{$lang->error_nopermission_guest_3}</li> <li>{$lang->error_nopermission_guest_4}</li> <li>{$lang->error_nopermission_guest_5}</li> </ol> <form action="member.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="do_login" /> <input type="hidden" name="url" value="{$redirect_url}" /> <table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder"> <tr> <td class="thead" colspan="2"> <span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->login}</strong></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="trow1"><strong>{$lang->username}</strong></td> <td class="trow1"> <input type="text" class="textbox" name="username" tabindex="1" /> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="trow2"><strong>{$lang->password}</strong></td> <td class="trow2"> <input type="password" class="textbox" name="password" tabindex="2" <td> </tr> <tr> <td class="trow2" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext" style="float:right; padding-top:3px;"><a href="member.php?action=register">{$lang->need_reg}</a> | <a href="member.php?action=lostpw">{$lang->forgot_password}</a>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;<input type="submit" class="button" value="{$lang->login}" tabindex="3" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> <br />

... now how to get it to replace the quickform link at the homepage (scrnshot attached) ?

Seems like should be somewhere in here...

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- lang.login = "{$lang->login}"; lang.lost_password = " &mdash; <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=lostpw\">{$lang->lost_password}</a>"; lang.register_url = " &mdash; <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register\">{$lang->welcome_register}</a>"; lang.remember_me = "{$lang->remember_me}" // --> </script> <span id="quick_login"><font size= 6> <strong>To ask a Question... <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=login" onclick="MyBB.quickLogin(); return false;">{$lang->welcome_login}</a> <font size= 5>, or... <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register">{$lang->welcome_register}</a></strong> <br> <font size= 5>or click category buttons below & browse as 'Guest'</font></span>

Feel like getting over head here, but this mod is really needed to make login simpler for non-forum user folks (already had some strong feedback in that direction) !
Suggestion/s on where to look for how to do this one ?
