Is there any way to edit what appears after a user logs in? For example, it appears to me that the default after a user logs in is to replace the log-in form with the 'Account Info' link. I'm wanting to have it where, after a user logs in, 'Account Info' , 'Add New Story' , and 'Manage Stories' appear. I can't seem to find what to edit to make this work. I've looked through just about everything and I have a feeling I'm just overlooking it lol.
What a person sees when they log in depends on your settings. If you have it set that anyone who joins can submit stories which is found in Admin->Settings->Submission Settings (Turn off unsolicited submissions: No)
Then when they log in the default Account Info (a/k/a user.php) shows Add Stories, Manage Stories etc.
If you have submissions turned off a/k/a Admin->Settings->Submission Settings (Turn off unsolicited submissions: Yes)
When they log in it only give options to edit their preferences. etc.
If you want all your users to be able to post stories make sure you have accepting unsolicited stories set to the one above... I know the wording would make you think you would say Yes and not No.
If you only want some users and not everyone to be able to add stories, that's when you get into Validating Authors. If they are validated if they log in they see add stories, etc. If they aren't they will see the member only settings of edit bio, preferences, etc.
Clear as mud, right?

There's no way to differentiate what a user sees when they first log in from what they see when they visit "Account Info". It's the same link.
Hmm.. I don't think I worded my original question right lol. What I meant was after you log in, the "Account Info" link appears. I'm trying to get other links to appear as well that were not there before (such as "add stories" or "manage stories"). I realize those links could simply be gotten to by clicking the "account info" link but I thought I would just cut out a step for some popular options.
Those links should already be there.
Those links should already be there.
And they are. I guess I'm still not asking it quite right. This is what I'm trying to do:
This is what I see before I log in:
After I log in, the "Account Info" link appears. Like so:
I'm trying to add more links to that bar that only appear after a member has logged in. For example, I was trying to add "manage stories" to the bar so they could get there without having to click "Account Info". Just to save one small step. All of the links are under account info I just wanted some them in the navigation bar as well (but only when members are logged in). I'm just not sure what to edit to make this happen.
You're trying to add new links to the menu.

Oh, ok! I was trying to make it more complicated than it actually was... no wonder I over looked it. Thank you very much for your time and sorry I couldn't manage to explain myself properly.
