Keep in mind: we are NOT using auto-integrate. We have no interest in sharing users ... only in crossposting our articles (WordPress) to our forums, and using the forums for the comment engine.

Earlier, I posted about how regardless of what UserID I have in the vbridge settings, it always posts to the forum as UserID #1. This somehow magically started working correctly all of a sudden - I never did go into phpmyadmin and change userID's around - it just started working.

HOWEVER - now that multiple articles have been published, the actual articles are now hitting the forum with RANDOM userID's ...

I think it has to be a conflict with the Users/Role Manager plugin we're using in WordPress - we have many contributors ... and when they publish their articles, they appear in the forums with random userID's ....

Example: user "SaintLewis" in wordpress adds an article and submits it to the editor. Editor approves and publishes. The article hits the forums in userid: 27? (which is someone else's userID, of course!).

Another user in wordpress publishes an article - and it gets published on the forums as another random ID.

Then, another one publishes, and it goes to the forum with the correct userID as defined in the vbridge settings.

I'd really love for this to work, but I'm on the brink of giving up unless someone has a clue what keeps causing this.

You and I are trying to use this the same way, I believe. I'll bet that, if you look into it, you'll notice they aren't random IDs, but rather that they have matching ID #s. I.e. SaintLewis is #24 in wordpress and 27? is #24 in vbulletin - that's what was happening to me, at times.

I've used both integrated and non-integrated, and scheduled posts don't work 100% either way, annoyingly. At this point, honestly, I'm seriously considering just disconnecting the forum from my site and using it as just that - a discussion forum, rather than a commenting engine. Especially with the loss of XMLRPC and the gallery features, it's becoming much more trouble than its worth, and the original dev isn't doing anything on this, either. I realize he's only volunteering, but when I offered $50 to whoever would help me, it was another member, rather than him, which kinda bothered me.
