Website Login Consistency
« on: June 30, 2006, 07:51:48 AM »
Okay, this might sound confusing, so stick with me.

We currently have 3 different website logins.  The forum, the gallery, and the membership area.

I could very well restrict all of them by putting them all under the members only area, but then no one outside of our paid up membership would be able to get to the forum, etc.

The only other option I can think of for people to keep better track of their accounts is to have everyone use the same username/password across all three sections.

Meaning ravenfire on the forum, would also use ravenfire to log into the gallery and the members only area.

The only problem with this method, is I would suggest using the same password across all three.

I will be updating all the members only logins to match the forum IDs, and also creating logins for the gallery with the same names.

I might ponder on this a bit more just to see if I can come up with a better method of doing this.  But right now it'd save everyone a lot of headache to just have to remember ONE username and ONE password.

what's the difference between the forum and the member's area on the web site?  I've tried to see what the member's thing was but I'm not allowed.  Speaking of which, am I concidered a member of CLG?
