Line 50-53 make it impossible to login/logout from post.asp page.
if Request.QueryString("method") <> "" then
	strRqMethod = chkString(Request.QueryString("method"), "SQLString")
else
	Response.Redirect("default.asp")
end if

The following code will fix the problem
if Request.QueryString("method") <> "" then
	strRqMethod = chkString(Request.QueryString("method"), "SQLString")
elseif not (Request("Method_Type") <> "") then
	Response.Redirect("default.asp")
end if

This is not a bug, this was done on purpose.

because it caused problems with redirects after logging in/logging out, usually resulting in a person getting stuck in a loop. Why would anyone need to login/logout on the post.asp page? Personally, I wanted to only allow logging in/logging out from default.asp only.

I always have hard time understanding statements as above and find my head spinning and eyes rolling from side to side...

Richard,

I don't have any problem with this code. Could you tell me which steps will make me stuck in a loop.

It catches my notice when I'm at post.asp page and want to logout. I have to click the logout button one more time at default.asp.

Thanks

You mean it's not needed?
like
if num = 1 then
 do something
elseif num <> 1 then
 do something else
end if

Why not just use 
elseif (Request("Method_Type") = "") then
instead of Not (Not Nothing) I am confused.

That one won't work.
If you want an alternative, use this 
elseif trim(Request("Method_Type") & "") = "" then
or 
elseif (Request("Method_Type") <> "login") and (Request("Method_Type") <> "logout") then

We spent weeks in school using boolean algebra to simplify statements. I'm with you on this one

Hi,

I'm sorry about my bad statement. But could you please focus on the main matter.
Will I have any problems as Richard's reply or not?

Thx

nylonTiger, the redirect to default.asp when logging in/out from post.asp as Richard has mentioned is intentional to avoid some looping problems.

The Dev team must have had the reasons to leave the code as is rather then find some alternatives.

I have an idea to fix this problem and I will post if I get time to test.

However try commenting out the following lines and see what happens.

'else
	'Response.Redirect("default.asp")
