My nonprofit is using a developer to create the database portion of
our password protected membership site (involving displays of tables
including "who sponsors me" and "who I sponsor" and "members by zip
code" etc.) We asked them to develop it in Joomla so we could make
ongoing changes on a weekly, or even daily basis.

What they created now works perfectly in IE and other browsers,
including one stop registration and login for main site and PHPBB
forum.

The problem is AOL which I understand isstill used by 30% of US users.
You cant even log in with AOL which I now find is an inherent problem
with no good fixes, in Joomla (if you are interested see
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,138764.0.html

I asked our developer to perhaps move the database to some other
content management system, or blog type software, but he claims lack
of expertise in anything but Joomla.

Any suggestions? I dont want get into a standoff with develooper if it
is only a couple hundred dollars to move it, but I am getting the
impression he is reluctant to spend more time. What other suggestions
might you have for easy move of database to a system allowing easy and
ongoing changes to non-technical people. I will probably post a
project on elance for this- I believe my developer will cooperate with
that- but need to know what to ask for.

Thanks.
