 * Hi there,
 * I would like to differentiate between accounts registered from the business directory
   part of my site and accounts registered from the forum part. Currently both types
   of accounts get the standard “subscriber” role assigned as primary role. Therefore
   I would like to automatically add an extra role “forum_user” to users registering
   via the forum.
    **How can this be best achieved?**
 * Best regards, Wilco

 * WPS uses the WordPress login so you will have to have a members plugin that will
   do what your wanting to log them and /or register them with different roles.
   
   Sorry not much help to you on this subject.
