Hey, there! Log in / Register
If you log in, you won't be redirected to the home page for a bit

UPDATE: Both problems now fixed!
If you have a UHub account and you've ever forgotten your password, you've run into the problem of not being able to actually recover your password. I finally fixed that (yay), but in so doing, had to turn off a function that, when you do log in, would send you to the home page instead of to your user-profile page (boo). I'll try to fix that without breaking the password-recovery system again, but in the meantime, my apologies to anybody who doesn't want to be plopped on their user-profile page (which I estimate is roughly 100% of everybody).

No problem
It's just one extra click (if you just click on the logo, it sends you back to the main page)
Thanks
Yeah, not exactly the world's greatest problem, but a small annoyance. By default, Drupal sends you to your user page after you log in. There's a "rules" module that lets you change that, but now I have to figure out how to make a rule that says "After somebody logs in, send them to the home page UNLESS they're coming in via a temporary password-recovery log in, in which case, send them to the password-recovery page." I'm sure somebody's already solved that, so now I have to squint and use some Google-fu and find the solution.
Solution found
Yep, Dr. Google pointed me to the fix - some simple PHP that does an if/then check on the URL the user's clicked on (the password-recovery URL has a unique string in it) and routes the user appropriately.
For your consideration
I'd rather the behavior be that after logging in you are sent back to the page you were on previously.
I usually don't realize the site logged me out until I'm on the tracker page and I don't see which articles are new. After I log in, I usually have to type the URL in again because there isn't a fast way to recent posts from the front page (or I'm missing it).
