It seems very bizaar that when I try and visit any areas of my recently installed site that are out of bounds (ie as a guest), then instead of sending me to the "Join" page it sends me to the "Sign In" page.

Have I missed a setting somewhere or is there some reason for this that someone brighter than me can explain?.

Any advice on where I can change this in the script?

thanks

Hey, Adden, the Newbie has a question.  Let him ask it!  If not here, where's he supposed to ask it?!?

Sure brusselsshrek. This is what we do here

baxter, thanks for the explanation. Now, I see what you wanted to ask.
You are right in some way. But you should understand that any none logged in person (but a real member) will be forwarded to the join page. For example, a member forgot to login and tried to access page for logged members only. And the system will ask him to join AGAIN So, is it necessary to give admin an option to set document for redirection for none members  or not? What do you think?

In any way, baxter, you can change it here:
Filename: inc/fnc.navigation.php
Line: 75

Change: redirect( getDocumentURL( 'sign_in' ) );
To: redirect( getDocumentURL( 'join_profile' ) );
