Question

This just feels “hacky” to me in terms of having to do both enable/disable for both of these. Since one of them could already have been turned “on” I need to turn them back off or on again. I feel as though I can dodge one of the checks somehow:

private void SetPanels()
{
    if(userIsLoggedIn)
    {
        pnlAuthed.Visible = true;
        pnlNotAuthed.Visible = false;
    }
    else
    {
        pnlSignUpForm_NotAuthed.Visible = true;
        pnlSignUpForm_Authed.Visible = false;
    }
}

I think you’re looking for something like this:

    pnlAuthed.Visible = userIsLoggedIn;
    pnlNotAuthed.Visible = !userIsLoggedIn;

    pnlSignUpForm_NotAuthed.Visible = !userIsLoggedIn;
    pnlSignUpForm_Authed.Visible = userIsLoggedIn;
