If, indeed, there is some EAA Headquarters/IT policy thing about requiring separate log ins then it is again silly to have users enter their EAA membership number and anything else. It would be trivial to have the registration routine query the membership database (MS SQL Server I'll bet) and retrieve all the info the forum software wants. Or the data could be retrieved, once again, from Active Directory and used to populate the forum registration page.
