what i would like it to do is.
1. on the main page have a login and password box
2. have a members page so when u register it sends you to the members
3. separate to the fourms
4. and have some admin and mini admin rights for the officers who are above the members.

In order to do this you need to have a host that can provide you with CGI, PHP or ASP. You need server-side programming to reliably enforce user logins. If you are running your forum on your own server, chances are good that you already have this, and in this case it's probably better to integrate the member page with the forum so that they use the same logins. If your forum is remotely hosted, then you'll have to verify with your host what kind of scripting you have available to you, if any. Two of the most popular are Perl and PHP - one of the scripts available at the places I just linked will probably be able to fill your needs.

This question belongs in the Server-side scripting section of the forums, BTW.

This question belongs in the Server-side scripting section of the forums, BTW.

But since there's no actual coding problems involved I move it to the more general Web Site Functionality forum.
