Exactly... there's no reason to have seperate logins for the portal and the forum, they should be the same.
Expect an alpha-beta of v1 this coming weekend. vI will be an exercise to see where we wanna go with this, trying out different layouts, features, etc.
vII will be where we are heading with this long-term, building out the internal design and data retrieval layers. That one, depending on how fast the parts come together, could be 1-4 weeks away before we see the beta for it.
