I don't know why, but it seems my login info works to log into the forums, but not on the front page.
Says something like password or user name error. Just wanted to comment on something on the front page and couldn't. I log into the forums ok, then go back to front page and i'm not logged in. I just hope Duke4.net and its forums don't require different passwords and usernames. Or do they?

You have to create a separate account on the front page.

OK, thanks, but before I do, can I keep the same name that I have for the forums? I noticed also that my name everyone sees, (logged in as VinsaneOne) is different from the name used to sign in with my password. Do I need to change any of that as well? Hope your not as confused as I am in what I'm saying here
Thanks again!

You can keep the same name.

But you must pay a fee: I accept clipped toe nails and bottled sweat.

Once you do it and log in on the front page, click 'remember me'. You won't need to manually log in anymore unless your browser or computer shut down un-expectedly, as I have learned.

If the news posts linked to the forum for comments etc like most other sites do we wouldn't have this problem.

It's got its pluses and minuses. Ultimately, it comes down to merging the user databases for the main site with that of the forums, but it's easier said than done.

On the other hand having separate user databases increases security*. Though, I still don't see the point of comment system in the news.

* - i highly doubt that people use different login/password for both, but admins should...
