Hi,

I was just wondering if this was possible at all.

I am wanting to add a mesage board to my website www.riffwars.com. How do i set it up so that users only need to register once and they are able to access the features of my website aswell as use the message board.
Any suggestions?

You can install any forum e.g. PhpBB and use its registeration to register your users and then do the session synchronization so that once a user is signed in he can remain signin on the forum and on the pages for your site.

I have done this kind of session synchronization in one of my projects in which I synchronized website session with OSCommerce session.

Also You have to export all your current registered user to the forum's database to keep your current users. Its a time taking work but not impossible. BEST OF LUCK!

Basically the website and the forum need to be coded to hook up. Which means you have to change one or the other. It's usually easier to change a website's code to hook up to the user table of a forum database than the other way around.

Well usually people only need to register once. I had a forum too and people only have to register once. If it's a bug or coding problem I suggest you contact the creator of that message board you are using and ask them this question. Many might or might not have Technical Support.
