| We are trying to integrate the forums capability of IF into an existing website. In one section of the site, we want the typical site-wide heirarchical forum drill-down. No problem. However, in other parts of the site, we want to associate a "private" forum with something like a member club -- if you're in the club you can get to a page that shows some club information, and below that the club forum. I have managed to code up the club creation so that I create member groups for the club member and club admin, create the club forum, and make the current user (the club creator) a club member and admin for role-based access. Now I want to create the "show club" page which will show various club info (external to IF) and the club forum view. How can I show just a single forum view on a page without getting there through the site's forum hierarchy? I want to be able to retrieve the forum ID from our own table (associated with the club object), and include a view of the that forum from within the club view page without throwing away the skinning/master page capability. Or do I have to write entirely custom code?!?!?

No answer yet? I have a few similar questions.
I would like to know if it would be possible to display a single thread in a non-forums page, and which license would be necessary.
Specifically, I would like to use the forum infrastructure to add a "Comments" section to each article. The single thread would be displayed on the the article page, but would also be available through the forums.
I will also need to be able to allow a user to sign-in through any page in the site, whether or not they are in the forums section (i.e., before commenting on an article)
Thank you,
SokViChet (Aaron)

| Well, after receiving no reply and seeing the percentage of posts with questions and issues that have gone unanswered here in the InstantForum support forums, I opted to go with Community Server http://www.telligent.com. I have posted questions of this complex nature there and received an answer within MINUTES. The source code is more complex (but I've learned a LOT from it!). The product is solid, has more lots functionality than InstantASP, and the user/support community is way better. I'd seriously consider using CS if you have complex stuff you need to do with a forum package.
