Ashley, I reccomend you to goto whatever asp building sites to look for sample codes, etcetc, look for enough ideas to create one.(hopefully you've done enough of that coz @ this point of time, if it is not programming and report writing you are doing, God Bless)
I can find so much of php coded sample sites is because I'm doing PHP and MYSQL with javascript. And PHP's free and MYSQL's free and javascript's free and Linux's free and Apache's free. Therefore support for these platforms and softwares are horrifying abundunt. Thus, explaining the easiness to find codes, it is everywhere.
I reckon you'll need a password generator script for signing up or you can let users put their own password. Asp has no send mail functions which is very important when users lost their password and need the forum server to send either
[List=1]
[*]A new password generated by the password generation script.
[*]The original password they have set themselves.
[*]Forget all the above and just give them the hint they set when registering.
Remember, ASP do not support mail function, so you have to find addon components and install them etcetc. If you see any website that runs on ASP, they usually rely on those components or CGI they have to pay for using money to create send mail functions.
Because of this stupid flaw, I changed to PHP, though I admit its too late for you to change now.
You can get the mail component for ASP from me, (I've downloaded it but never got the time to try it out) or go to these 2 sites
