Here is an idea I have and I'd like your opinion on it.

For my password protected site, I create a login/password for each member (and I can manually set it, so I can pick something versus having the system automatically generate it).

I could then "Register" the person for Nabble myself and use their email address and the same password.  The user would then get an email from Nabble at their email address to confirm their registration (which they'd need to do)

They would access Nabble as a page within my password protected site.  Once they login to Nabble for the first time, will they remain logged in unless they deliberately log out or clear their cookies?  So they won't have the need to login to Nabble each time they visit the website, they'd already be logged in.

How long will the cookie remain?  Is there an expiration on it, or will it remain and they'll stayed logged in indefinitely?   (This is how our photo site within our password protected site works - they login once and stayed logged in essentially forever unless they log out or clear their cookies).

If Nabble doesn't have an expiration on the cookies, then this may work for me.

In addition, most members may never even have to login.  The only time they'd need to login is if they want to make a post which include an image (or some other HTML formatting) and I figure we can probably adjust some of the wording somewhere to let them know that they need to login first.

What do you think?
