M8, all these things I mentioned ARE in the user table - and that's the problem.

If you have only one user table you have only one post counter, only one field for usergroup memberships and so on ...

usually, users are the same from one board to another... so if you count the posts from one board, i suppose they have to be added to the other one ?!... logically...

and yes i didn't noticed your detail.. ;)

with a merge of tables, users will have one sig, one count, etc... you can merge all the tables related to users details, or keep them independant from board to board...

vB have built their users table with too much details, so we have to deal with this...

hmm, i'm having a problem with that... some questions:
1. can i use a different database? (user, pass, db name)
2. am i supposed to add it after or below?

1- to have a different db with different users/pass is a bit more complicated, because in this way, you have to add the password ans username to the process, and it can'T be done that way... you ask for too complicated procedure here.

and as it was written, you add it after the first part.

btw, i just see there is a usergroup table, this can be hasardeous as the hack i give is replacing everything starting with user... i've updated with a space
