When I or my users log into my wsnlinks system, they're redirected to category 41 for some odd reason.
I notice in the sitemaporder column that 41 is the first value. Maybe that has something to do with it? Anyway, I would like my users to go to the main page. Any ideas?
Can you not change the place where the go in the admin panel where it says redirects(down the bottom). You should be able to choose where the users go from that after they login.
Hrm ok. So you have to specifically put in index.php otherwise it just takes you to the first place on your category list. That is not logical behaviour.
If you don't specify a location then it should default to your index.php page.
No, it should not, as that would remove functionality. As it says there, unless you put something in it takes you to the most recently visited location, as determined by a cookie, excluding any locations like the login page that aren't logical to redirect to.
Now there does seem to be a problem with the cookie, of course. The cookie is only getting set inside categories, so it takes you to whatever category you last viewed. Will fix that shortly.

I actually wondered the same. On my login I'm being redirected to category id=1.
even though I logged in from the main page.

I regard this as a bug.
