Integrating Forum with members area

One sign up to access all

[Lobo]

Has anyone got a simple solution to integrate members login to give access to a members area and a seperate forum under the one user / password combination?

ie: which forum package is easiest to use with this?

when a member is logged in they are logged in, can access all the members area features and the forum, and vice versa ...

At present I intend a login access in the top right corner of the page, this should change to 'logged in' notification when they are...

Obviously it must include standard security features of tracking members ...

Anyone done this with success...

Ok ATM I'm experimenting with integrating vbulletin with amember ...

anyone got any thoughts on the matter?
