IS THERE A WAY I CAN LINK MY MEMBERS INFO PASSWORD AND USERSNAME, FORM MY UBB BOARD, SO I CAN HAVE THEM ENTER A MEMBERS ONLY SECTION WITH THAT INFO, RIGHT NOW I HAVE A .HTACCESS SET-UP ON THE OTHER PART, BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN DO THAT? SO THEY DON'T HAVE TWO DIFFERENT PASSWORDS FOR THE SITE AND MAKE IT EASIER TO REMEMBER!

Its very much possible and easy... if u know what you are doing. i am currently doing it, did it, on the redesign of my website on gamespy. I used php, but you could just as easily use cgi to do it.

What your script has to contain is:

1. a form for a login/pass fields
2. on submit open the memberlist file
3. check to see if that username exists
4. if it exists, take the profile for that user and open the profile for that user, then check the entered pass against their profiles
5. set some cookies or session information for the user that lets him wander around merrily in the members area
6. if it doesnt exist/pass doesnt match, give an error
7. dont type in caps, it strains my eyes smile
