I reckon the least useful would be the Yaroze username because I don't think people tend to know each others usernames (or do they? I could be wrong). And about problem (4) .. I don't think it'll be plenty good enough without confirmations via email... a message would be good enough as far as I'm concerned. I think email confirmations are so often used by web sites because it make's sure the user's email address is correct...but you could always ask the user to double check that. About number (3)... I can only speak for myself but: it wouldn't matter to me if non-members could see stuff about me and my work (might be an advantage in getting employment -- you never know). I guess the down side it that it increases the possibility of people stealing your ideas etc. I dare not even suggest having in-group private pages and public pages on your site since you sound like you've got more than enough on your plate already! Sorry I can't help with the rest but I don't know anything about scripts. Jon Prestidge
