That was a tremendously helpful post! Thank you

1. That vBSEO looks really promising. It seems like it's a seperate version though? Meaning I would download and install it versus the vBulletin. Is that assumption correct or is it simply an addon?

2. Yeah i'm totally fine with something that just plugs into vBulletin user authentication for the store. I'm fairly proficient with PHP so I could always do my own code to handle the store. I don't need all the processing stuff, just a cart and notification to emails upon completion.

3. In thinking it over I really don't need to hide the language forums since it's probably best to show everyone all the forums since many visitors will be bi-lingual!

4. Those portals look excellent! They will do the job!

5. Well a Joomla bridge sounds promising but I would imagine that you loose the SEO capabilities like you do with so many other apps bridged in Joomla / Mambo.
