What if I want to integrate Snitz Forums into an ASP site running on an MS Access DB that has user info, registration, and sign_in already? If it is just a matter of cookies, etc. I can easily write those cookies when my users sign in. And when they register I wouldn't mind adding an extra record to Snitz' user database. So I don't mind having separate databases. I just want users to only have to sign in once and register once and on my current site. I haven't looked at your code or MDB table design yet. I guess I assume all of that should be a no-brainer and my worry is the encrypted password part. Any advice or warnings?
Thanks!

The password is SHA256, and there is a Snitz function to do the encryption. It sounds like you know what you're talking about, so I don't think it will be a hard task at all. Write the cookie the way Snitz wants it, and maybe consider using SHA256 on your existing member's database and it should all work fine.

Thanks, guys.
And yeah well MAYBE I know what I'm doing. Sure I'm an ASP scripter but what I'm wondering is if someone has already written the function to insert the new member records into the forum_ tables and write the cookies and such? Sure, I can write all that but if someone already has then I'd love to get it.
Thanks for the advice to search. I did do a search on "integration" but didn't find what I needed. If you can suggest other terms to search on, I'd appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'll try a few.
Thanks again!
It looks like I'm going to go ahead and use Snitz since it seems to have all the capabilities I need.
