[thelist] Moving from PostNuke, versatile php forum?

[Andrew]

phpbb does have a module that allows you to port the login code across the whole
site based on the login for phpbb so you only login once anywhere in the site,
obviously this would mean structuring your users login for the whole site based
on phpbb, not sure if this helps but it was my first thought
