I'm about to upgrade to WP 2.3 on a site that uses this bridge, so I'll know for sure after that, but from my experience getting a Coppermine photo gallery bridge to work after another 2.3 upgrade, and based on the error you posted, I think the solution to this is likely to be relatively simple. With the 2.3 release Wordpress database functions were consolidated into wp-includes/wp-db.php, and moved out of several other files. The file wp-admin/admin-db.php is no longer used by WordPress and contains redundant functions. The bridge code has a "require" at line 400 for admin-db.php, hence the error message. This may not be the entire fix, but commenting out line 400 from vbbridge.php would be a logical first step. After that, you may get a similar error but the message may now reference some other no-longer-needed file. Once you've eliminated references to files that contain redundant functions, the bridge will probably work.

I can confirm that correcting line 400 will fix the "admin-db.php" error for Wordpress v2.3. I'm not sure what "commenting out" means but I redirected the path to "wp-includes/wp-db.php" and now bridged forum users can view the blog without a problem.

Thanks for the tip Alan. This saved me a lot of time.
