Integrate with existing asp.net profile user db's

Hi !
Well, congrads on writing a fine piece of code btw...
I would like to use the forum software within an existing application that uses the asp.net profile db. Any thought on integrating with it?
Thanks,
Peter

Re: Integrate with existing asp.net profile user db's

Actually, when I first started to rewrite the app, that's exactly what I did was try to write a profile provider. For awhile I thought I'd stick with it, but in the long run I decided against it. The problem is that profile data has to be in a known schema to join it with post data (for user signatures and avatars, for example). Splitting the two, or querying two pools of data wasn't a compromise I was happy with, so I let it go.
