I would vote in favor of using vbulletin (www.vbulletin.com) it's got forums for talk like this, web-based, and runs off of the MySQL server as a back-end. An example in action is vbulletin itself or community.installshield.com. Very slick indeed.
Kelly FYI, I'm somewhat biased in favor of it because I have set up this program and know how well it works. It's a great example of PHP and MySQL working together. >Hi Matt, > >I am sure this has been said before so my apologies if I bore! > >Most mail clients let you setup rules.
