Highly annoying issue with logging in

Hey DAZzlers, does anyone else resent the fact that now, to log in you have to click on the top right little person icon, and once you do log in, you are taken to your account page instead of back to the page you were on? WHY, peeps, WHY??? *sob*

It's worse than that. Google Chrome is no longer able to recognise the login panel so it doesn't offer up saved UID/Password any more. This is especially annoying because the developers at DAZ have decided to reduce the time that you remain logged in, so that you have to re-login even more frequently than before!!!
And that's not mentioning the little blue man that leads you into believing that you are logged in when you aren't and so you end up adding things to your cart that you lose when you finally realise your mistake.
I'm afraid it's another nought out of ten for the webdevs at the multi-billion dollar DAZ Corp.
Firefox here, current version. In the old store I used to get my login details autopopulated in the proper text boxes as soon as I hit the"Login" link, but with the little popup the text boxes are blank. I can use autocomplete, or just hit Return and the "enter details" nag page does have the proper login stuff autopopulated in the boxes.
It seems to be the difference between a complete page and a little popup that confuses our browsers.
I have to ask once more, what are they teaching in those store web design classes...? :-/
And just to add a bit more what-the-heck's-happening to the mix, I seem to be getting a longer login time, which has been stable for about the last week — for the first time in years, it's actually longer than the usual amount of time I spend daily online and browsing the store/forums.
I would like to see a "Welcome MrPoser" when logged in.
In Internet Explorer, It only works on the main page and you have to click in the box to get the info to login. It might just recognize thye FULL page that you saved it as?

Hmmm, interesting ... I received an email from admin yesterday saying they had removed this thread for excessive criticism, or words to that effect, but here we are. lol! Gus, you have me totally befuddled - "the FULL page that you saved it as" ...?? More befuddled than usual, I mean. lol! I use Firefox. It does recognise my login, and shows me as logged in on all the different pages. It's the manner in which they have set it up that throws me, and that once you log in you are taken to your accounts page instead of back to the page you logged in from. THAT is very annoying. I hope they fix that sooooooooon. ;)
I was on this page and logged in and got thrown onto the 'Submit a Request page' ???
I've previously been thrown into my account page. To return to the page before you logged in makes sense.

I'd also like to see the Forum Tab shortcuts back. ( I know I'm not the only one).
It seems to work like; I originally signed in on the main page and had explorer remember my sign in. Now it will only call it up on that page. The old site could call it up on any store page, now it's just the one I originally signed in on.

Going to your account happened to me on the old site also. The new site is a little easier in that when I hit the back button I don't hit the login screen. With the old site I had to jump over the login by right clicking.
