Custom Cookie

[Mib1]

Hello,

I run a membership site that requires members to use their
unique username and password to log in.

We've hacked VB's MYSQL databsae tables to receive the member's password and username via our order form.

What we want to do is have our site write a cookie when the
member logs in our site that will allow VB to "NOT" ask them
to log in when they decide to visit the VB forums.

We have the abillity to know who is logged in and thus need to
know how to write a cookie that VB will look for when the member
visits the VB forums.

The purpose of this is we are trying to have our site only ask
for the username and password once per browser session to access the site and the VB forums.

I think it is a pain to ask a new user to log in for the site and then
to log in again for the forums.

Any suggestions on how to write the cookie so VB will see the
data needed to consider the member "logged in"?

Thanks.
