[ZDP] More Zope membership site comments

[Ross J. Reedstrom]

Paul - 
I saw this same behavior (change password, then try to go to my page,
and get cookie login page). 

I finally noticed that the link I'd clicked on
had sent me to 

http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/manage

instead of:

http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/reedstrm/manage

Ah, here's why: I just repeated it. After changing my password, the 
'successfully changed password' page show up. click o.k., end up at:

http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/update_html

instead of 

http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/reedstrm/update_html

simple as that.  Want to add it to the bug report?
