I have an ASP based website which has a user management system in place. I'd like to use the Web Wiz forums within my site, accessible to my registered users. How can I get past having them create accounts all over again on the web wiz side? I can import info from my existing users, but then I'd have to constantly be adding new users to the web wiz db. Anybody run into this?

yes, I try hard and I got it!
I move my user info from an other forum's database to WWF manually yesterday, and today I will make this for forums and posts.
but I just have a small forum, what about yours?

You would have to find a way to share the Author table between both apps.........won't be that easy considering wwf's password encryption so you would have to mod your site scripts to use your forum's tblAuthor table (on the sql version is pretty simple using views) and integrate the same type of encryption on your site..........

It's a good idea to share the Author table, but need rewirte some forum codes, and more knowledges about database.

Over 1000 users and counting...it would be a difficult game to try and keep it updated manually, so I guess I will have to find another forum that I can use which will let me use session variables in the posts.

With that many users you shouldn't use session variables as they are server resource intensive and should be avoided if possible.

You should have done a search here. Its not too hard at all to move user info (names, passwords, location) from one Access database to another, including getting the encryption done for v7.

Are you using the SQL or Access version?

Using SQL it's just a matter of creating table joins and editing some pages to merge WWF. I did it for the LongBox.com web site with no problem. I even integrated the login cookies.
