Hi mizzy,

If you want a simple one, then I would recommend Account Manager Lite. It's a free version where someone can sign-up before gaining access to certain section of your site using their username/password and it's fully automated once the script is running and it even email the username/password if they forget it by entering their email address when they first registered.

The professional version cost $199/= and it can do automated billing whereas the free one can't.

The url is:
http://cgi.elitehost.com/

Very easy to install and you need to have cgi/perl access on your server to use the script.

Hope this helps.

Nothing too complicated

Basically all I need is to allow people to use the search engine and link directory without signing in but there are other sections like discussion forum and classifieds and so on that need to be password protected. meaning that someone would have to sign in to use those sections (Kind of like what you have here, where you have to log in to make a posting). Any ideas on what would work?
thanks

We have just finished a pw/ protected site and we did all of this with session variables,cookies, plus permissions and authorisation fields in SQL. Just depends on how tightly you want the protection.

What about some cgi/php/cfm...????
