hi - on mysite. com/forum/ when a user who's not logged in, logs in, they are returned to site root... is that a WP issue/setting to fix, or somewhere in SP config? Once they login I'd like them to stay on the forum page .. thx  (I'm also using wishlist if that matters)

Hey graphicken,

Have you checked your settings in the forum admin under Forum > Components > Login and Registration?

OK, what are you using for login / logout? i.e Forum, theme header, widget etc..

Have you also checked WishList settings? See WishList Member > Settings > After Login Page

hi - thanks very much; that solved it, the WLM after login page, I set it to forum url and that works. it's a bit tricky in WP knowing 'which plugin has !important /preference', I appreciate your helpful answer, that solved it

It is an ongoing problem. Firstly WP tends to load plugin code in the order that plugins were activated. But more importantly, and in the context of this thread, the WP filter/action API (which is the heart and soul of WP and the main reason for it's great success) can result - as is almost certainly the case here - in 2 plugins attempting to change the same default behaviour. The one that specifies itself to be run last wins!
