my forum is 100% members only (ie guests see nothing), so this will be quite useful for me.

Thanks Dismounted, i'll look into hashing the password that way and will report back.

ok, i plain md5 hashed the password via this tool.

I then added 2 parameters to google adsense and tried index.php and login.php as the destination page. The 2 params used were vb_login_username and vb_login_md5password.

No luck though, and no errors or anything to help me.. Only the restricted guest only content is displayed. Is still a pretty new feature, so i may have to wait until someone else figures it out ;)

Try setting "login.php?do=login" as the destination.

thanks tried that one previously also, but not using the new hashed password. No luck though, still doesn't login.

Has anyone actually gotten this to work?

Nope :( This would be good tho

someone answered my question over at vb.com

works perfectly!

I just tried it and it worked :) Thanks guys

"Test My Authentication URL" works fine, but there is no login or action on the private forum from the adsense robot. Otherwise, crawl-66-249-71-251.googlebot.com is a regular on all my other forums!

i tried too many methods on 3.8.5 but no luck at all!
