I am testing my shopping cart since ill be launching next week.

i have set up my own account as if i was a customer.

i was trying to click "checkout" in which my site should have gone to the shipping option then to paypal.. but instead it kicked me back to the customer log in... it did this a few times and eqach time i logged in it counted me as a new person on the site (so now it shows 5 people are on the site.. but in reality they are all me)

any hints on how to fix this. This was not happening before my ssl was installed
