Why would you want to do that through the CMS rather than through the forum software? Use the right tool for the right job and all that. If the issue is avoiding multiple user logins because you have personalization running, WebCrossing supports (with some scripting) external user databases. I suspect other forum packages support similar external user dbs.I'd agree with this approach, I think you'll be chasing your tail if you
try to implement the capabilities of a Forum software into your CMS.
Better to implement the two separately and figure out a way to get the
CMS to properly generate new postings in the Forum.
That's what we did with Article Manager. We had enough people ask for
this, that we set it up to work with Discus, Gforum, Ikonboard,
Ubbthreads, Ubbclassic5, and Vbulletin.
Here's Article Manager:

And here's a link to goforum.cgi, which adds on the forum functionality:
