I am looking for a solution to a website that has a blog and a message board, that draws from the same databse, so when someone signs up/in, they are logined into both and don't have to create a second login for either the blog or message board. any direction to canned solutions would be great, thanks.

Im pretty sure there is a version of Wordpress that is multi user, I read it in another thread here.
Can anyone confirm?

Also, in case that's not for you, a lot of message boards have add-ons for user blogs. phpBB does for sure. Wink
