	I have customized the forum application to import users from another database, where the users login credentials must stay the same. Is there a way for me to "turn off" the ability for a user to change his username and password? Thanks, Josh Ream P.S. GREAT APPLICATION!!!!! Edited by jream - 02 July 2007 at 9:06pm

	Users can not change their usernames anyway, only the admin can in the admin area. If you use the built in member API it syncs your members passwords when they login from your system.

	I need for them to not change their passwords. Is this possible from the built in API? Can you point me in the right direction on more info about it and how to use it? Thanks, Josh

	Then you would need to buy a license so you can modify the code to disable the users from changing their passwords. If you are unsure about ASP you may need to hire a web developer to do this for you.

	I already bought a licensed version and am familiar with ASP. I was just wondering if you could tell me where to find this built in function? J

	You can enable the API by editing the file functions/functions_members_API.asp the file contains instructions on how to set this up and allows your members to login via your own login system which will pass across the members username and password. If the password changes on your system it will also update the password in the forum system.
