I have come up with a trivial solution to this.<br>
If you are using a local IP (and hence have the popup login box),
and you click on the "login" button in the main menu, you just get a
page that has the popup login box on it but otherwise just says
"Please login above.".<br>
<br>
Only 1 username+password box, so users don't get confused.<br>
And they will realise that next time they can just use the popup
login box (i.e. the long thin one) and save themselves a click.<br>
<br>
Seems neat and simple to me. You too?<br>

<div>I understand what you are going to after I set

<div>1. for a localip user, it will have the long thin

<div>2. My first move after seeing that message is to click the
blue color button below (instead of login through the long thin
box above).</div>
<div>3. It will go to a login page with TWO login boxes which I
think is more confusing.</div>

<div>Is it possible in step 1 above to detect local ip address
user and prompt a page with LOGIN only . (ie no dropoff and

If you are coming from an IP address on your PC that
matches the localIPSubnets setting in preferences.php, it
suggests you login, as you probably can. It does this by
displaying the long thin username+password box when you
are looking at index.php and have not logged in.<br>
<br>
This is all just to encourage you to login, as some users
get confused that the main menu says that they can still
send files to people, but they have to go through the
email+human verification procedures to do it, which is
awkward. So it strongly encourages you to login first.<br>
<br>
Users would not normally see the 2 login methods on screen
at the same time, as they will have logged in from the
main menu (the home page of the site) using the long thin
login box you see.<br>
<br>
Hope that explains it. We've been racking our brains to
find a way of suggesting to local users that they login
first, before doing anything else. This is the best we
could find.<br>
<br>
Jules.
