Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if it's possible to make it so that a user can be made to automatically login to Vbulletin under certain circumstances, without having to actually use the normal forum login controls?

Specifically, I have a Vbulletin forum within a password protected, members-only area of my web site. Once a user has logged into that members only area (using my own code, independent of VBulletin) I would like to make it so that when they click the link to the Forum, they can go straight in without having to then subsequently log into the forum. At the moment, users effectively have to log in twice which is not quite so user friendly.

The problem is that some not so net-savvy users are finding it awkward having to log in twice and so are not using the site so much.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks,

Dan.

PS - Asked already in vbulletin.com and it was suggested I post it here instead.
