easy forum

howdy - wondering if anyone has come across an already-built easy to configure drop in forum? Essentially, i have already built a application that people sign into and am looking to drop in a quick forum feature. But i need the forum to fit in the site already built, and of course, use the user login information already stored in a session variable.

i could build this myself, but i was hoping to find something that was really easy to just drop into my site already built.

thanks,
ynot2k

While I haven't done it myself, I have seen phpBB tied into other site login information. Not sure how hard to configure, as I haven't done much more than just a basic install in the past. However anything is possible.

The easier route would most likely be to take the session setting that happens when you log into phpBB (or other forum software) and in your site where you login, also set that as well. You will also need your site when it creates an account write that information to the phpBB user database.
