Pugdog, sorry I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around this right now... end of a long week, I suspect.

If I've got this wrong, let me know, but this would involve the "user"/"link adder" having to fill out two forms to enter a link, correct? One to become a User, and the other to add the link?

If this is so, then it probably isn't going to work for me, at least not ideally. My site is really going to cater to webmasters who want to add links. By requiring two "hoops" to jump through, signups will decrease drastically. I'd *much* rather have more admin work to set up and for upgrades than risk a severe drop in signups. My member base will be the biggest part of my business model.

Additionally, another modification I need to do involves additional fields either within the Links table or within another table which must be created, and so I was interested in hearing at least thoughts about table efficiency...

This is just off the top of my head, but what about this: One form - contains all fields for adding a link & creating a user. On submit, add.cgi is run, but with a plugin that "hooks" after add.cgi is processed, and which simply runs the "create user" script.

Would something like that work? Something similar?

Thanks,
Matt Glaspie
