Thanks for your response Amy. I've already installed the Deluxe vB User login and I understand a little bit about how you can use global.php.

However, I'm not sure how I'm supposed implement something like that with my current member database. What I'm trying to do is allow users to login and edit their details in our member directory using on their forum username and password. It's very important that they only be able to access their record in the database, so I think it would have to based on user id or something similar.

I also imagine I would have to modify my contact table and ad some of the vB info like username or userid so I can restrict access, wouldn't I?

I started working on this when I was using Ikonboard, and one of the main reasons I switched to vB is I was told this could easily be done and would take about 5 minutes of coding.

I'm no coder, but with a little direction I can usually figure some of this stuff out.

Any further advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew
