Hey, Gizmo - thanks for the reply.
The second part of the reply is what interests me - is there no "User Profile" file format or something so I could just write directly to this from a PHP script run by flash? I notice you said on my post on the other UBB forum that the member details are stored in a MySQL database - what is the format in the Database, and if I updated the database, would UBB automatically recognise the new content of the database as a valid user, or would I need to go through another process to validate them?
Also - in the User profiles, am I tied to the options available when you set up UBB with attributes of a user profile, or can I add my own "special" attributes too?
Thanks again for your help!
