I can easily extend WordPress' comment section and would like to do something like (pseudo code obviously):

<?php
if (!not_vb_authenticated) {
echo 'Please login with your forum username and password first';
} else {
comments_template('', true);
?>

Would it display the forum's username (if echoed correctly) or do we need the deluxe version for that? (which sounds like a better solution anyway, since I'd like to use the avatars as well). I don't care so much about all the other vB stuff, but would love to have this as a simple vB powered authentication system inside WordPress.

Im interested in incorporating this on WP as well, comments would be handy but not totally needed, but what I am looking to do is use the wordpress usergroup permission settings to restrict access to certain articles, has anyone tried this yet?

thanks!
