I've been exploring options for our tandem club website www.evergreentandemclub.org Currently we're using a free perlscript (wwwboard) for our message board and another free perlscript for our calendar. We'd like to add a user customizable and searchable member profile to the mix. And to further complicate matters the message board and profiles need to be in a password protected area along with some other stuff but the calendar is in the free area. I'm wondering if there's any way to make vbulletine meet ALL my needs?!

Right now we're on a Unix system and it's been easy to password protect a "realm" (all pages/folders within a directory). But we have to assign each password manually (their birthday) and then have to respond to lost passwords and we don't allow them to change their password. I don't want folks to have to enter in a password for the whole member area and then have to enter another one to use vbulletin. Any ideas how to make this work?

As we're approach the end of our first year of membership we're thinking IF we can figure a way to do all this differently, we'd like to change our host. All our memberships expire the end of March. So on April 1 we'd like to be setup somewhere (cheaper?) where those who've paid their renewal could be approved with their own password. I'd like to find a way that a member could create their own password, upon approval by admin knowing they'd paid, and could change their own password and could get emailed if they forgot their password. While we only have 300 members the way we do it now it's pretty labor intensive.

So I'm interested in any input you have to offer. I guess one of my main questions specific to vbulletin is if there's a hack that would allow me to customize the fileds for the member profile and make that data searchable by the members. We'd need roughly 10 fields.

Thanks.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
