In a very short summary explaining my program.. It works like.. you visit the page, if not logged in, you get sent to login page, login and get sent back to the form. You fill out form, press submit, values are captured by request_vars and set to where they should be (you'll see by looking at the program), and basically a new topic is made, they get a confirmation, and are redirected to the new topic. At least that's what I'm aiming for lol. It's obviously not working at all.
First 2 issues I've noticed are when you view the page and are not logged in, you don't get sent to the login page, and when you enter the data into the form and press submit, no new topic is made. This could be my failure to correctly capture the $_POST data through request_var().
