Why is it, I sign in from the home page, but later when I go to the forum I have to sign in again to post something? Didn't seem like it was that way before. Also there are different passwords I have to use. How can I just have one sign in?

This is the way it has always been. I have checked and you are using the same password for both systems.

At one point I signed in then went to the forum and to sign in again. I tried the same PW and couldn't get in so I to requested my password. I was emailed a password and it was different, but it worked. Last time I typed in my name and the rest auto-filled so I don't know what PW was used.
Don't matter, as long as I can log on. This is a great site!

The main part of the site is custom coded by me, for the forum I decided to go with an existing solution for stability, easy and better security. That is why their are two different password systems. I have tied them both together the best I could but without writing an entire forum from scratch I don't think we will get too much better of a match.
