Hi, I'm wondering if there's a module (I was not able to find it) that will allow you to have a log in that appears as a link, and then when clicked, opens a box for the login information--like www.artinfo.com, or www.economist.com. Thanks.

use ctools
There is no such module available as per as my knowledge is concerned . U can better use ctools module for this. U can theme the pop-up according to your needs.See ctools ajax example module for login pop-up with default style and custom theme style
Strange, I was literally
Strange, I was literally going to create a custom module with this feature today. It's quite easy to do, you just need to have the form on the page next to the links and then use jQuery and CSS to make it appear when the link is clicked. This is what the artinfo.com site does. I believe the economist.com site does it differently, it appears to load the form up using AJAX and removes it from the DOM again, I could be wrong though. I'm surprised there is no module that does this already though.
Update: I think the Popup module might do what you are looking for. Though if you want to go down the lightbox route, the AJAX register module is a good one.
Are you actually wanting to build a module yourself? If not, you're better off moving this post into the Post installation forum, as this one is for module development questions.
