Check out www.brentford-online.com as you can see it is seamless there.

It uses WebWizForums (DO NOT USE Snitz, very crap) however I use there
original user table (I didn=92t need to change it) but it should be very =
easy
to use your own as the code to get the data is all in one include file
called /forum/common.asp which is loaded in every page of the forum.=20

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=3Dasp

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.
