I really must comment on the excellent support I'm receiving.
It's refreshing to have someone realize that not everyone has time to dig through a complex application and figure it all out themselves.
You understand that support = acceptance and takeup rate.

I do need a bit more help though.
Maybe if I explain what I'm up to, that will help.

I'm using FUD as the company and user support forum for our web based business application. When employees are established for one of our clients, I'm setting them up in FUD. I am using your API now and it works great.
I did need to remove the restriction around email uniqueness (code and DB index/constraint).
Many employees use the same generic "company email"...
I also created the login name as a concattenation of clientID and userID (numeric sequence assigned values that are the primary index on their respective tables). This ensures userID will always be unique across our application.

So far, so good! I now want the user to access FUD via a link in our app i.e. the app handles the login - they never see an ID/password for FUD.

Problem, is that the /scripts/forum_login.php is designed for mySQL and has a "REPLACE INTO" command.

I'm using postgreSQL, so my question is - do you already have a postgres version or patch?

If not, I assume the best course is to delete any session records out there for the applicable FUD userID - then change the REPLACE INTO to an "INSERT INTO"?

Thanks again

Chris
