The skin sharing is proving to be a slightly more complicated project. I got the front page done fine, but some of the style variables are hard coded into the files....so I will have to include them in the VB style to get the looks right.
Still working on this, but it is a minor issue.
Honestly the credit really belongs with the developers at eFiction. They have set it up in such a way that bridging to an external database is very easy. I can pull VB custom profile fields and use them on the eFic profile...or just replace the entire eFic profile if I wanted to. For this mod I am just adding fields to the current profile...easier that way
