Best Members area software?

In your opinion, what is the best software for members area management. I would like to have a members area on a web site that is password protected but I use Front Page for my editor so I am limited. I would like people to be able to register and also email for their password if they forgot it. Also, I don't want them to get back in after they logged off without logging back in. Is there a software that I can buy to do all these things? - Thank you in advance.

This would require a server side programming language such as PHP to read and write to files on the server. Check out www.hotscripts.com for premade scripts.

Hi tlovell,
if you're using FrontPage, chances are that you'll be running a Windows server environment. ASP (Active Server Pages) is probably the best solution for you. There is an area on the Hotscripts site featuring User Management scripts - you might want to check them out. Following one of the links from there, I came across this free application which seems to provide the functionality you are looking for.

Hope that helps,

Paul
