Hi all.

Looking into switching over to FUDForum but have a couple questions to ask on functionality.

If I switch over, I would like to integrate forum login with the rest of the site. I have read the template system and get how that works and realise that there is an api that deals with forum login. My question relates more on, how does forum login integration affect the rest of the site should the forum go down or administrator disable the forum for some reason? Will the rest of the site still be accessable independant of the forum status or with it make the rest of the site inaccessable like phpBB2 does?

Thanks!

The fudapi does not care about whether the forum is active or not, it works directly with the database. This means you can turn off the forum, but have the rest of the site continue working using FUDforum's authentication mechanism.

If the site is on one server and the forum is on another server, and the forum server goes down, then, depending on how you have set up your code, your main site could slow down, unless you make your code "site crash safe"
