Thanks!
Well, for now we have a work around. I re-enabled the joomla reg in the congig. The joomla login now only appears in the scenario described (User hits a registered page). Allowing the user to be redirected to where they were or stay right there after they login. This only works if the user uses that joomla login that is put in the middle of the page. If they bypass it and use the CB permanently embedded in the template, well, they are sent home. We have been testing and it doesn't seem to have screwed anything up, yet.
Thanks again.
