Sorry, I thought I asked this of you before a couple months ago but I don't find a response in the search of this forum. I need a news publishing system that will allow me to charge for subscriptions. I started trying PHPCOW knowing they had a workaround with aMember but you didn't recommend it. Now I am growing frustrated with PHPCOW as the interface is not straightforward and support is not easy to interact with. I hope the system works for others but I am looking for options. I have another customer using Interspire's ArticleLive (www.interspire.com) product and it is straightforward in its administration. Would it be possible to integrate with amember? If I had it in a separate folder and simply controlled it by htaccess would that work? I can live with no access to the news system and a generic front page if I can control subscriptions. If I *can* do this, would it be possible to also integrate the same database/subscription system to include a forum at the same time? Thanks for your response. David P.
