RE: FN-FORUM: timescales for integrating a forum into a website

I am just doing the same with a forum we wrote. Its only taking a few days
of pretty sporadic work to complete the integration. All we have had to
change is where the forum looks for member details and how it subscribes
people. Which is quite easy. The rest is unchanged.

Subject: FN-FORUM: timescales for integrating a forum into a website



Hi all,

I have a website which has already got a members area, and i wanted to add a
forum for the members.

I am currently investigating 2 alternatives.

1) Writing our own bespoke forum.
2) Integrating a free forum. eg. www.snitz.com or
http://www.webwizguide.info/web_wiz_forums/default.asp?mode=asp

My question regards option (2) I was wondering if anybody had already
integrated a free forum like one of the above, and could tell me roughly how
much work was involved. Bearing in mind i want the experience to be
seamless, so the user shouldnt have to sign into the forum, after signing
into the members website.

cheers,





david.
