Default Questions about having a vBulletin forum for my website

Hello EveryOne,

I am a new forum member here. My name is Keith.

I am thinking of starting a forum and I heard of vBulletin from my internet friends.

I believe vBulletin is the right forum solution for me but I am not sure if it supports the following features. For information, I used Invision Power Board previously so I have a bit of forum background.

I did raise a pre-sales support ticket on this and I was told to ask here because it concerns code modification. I was being redirected from vbulletin.com to here too.

I really need to know the following before I decide to invest into getting a forum license. I strongly believe that if a person is serious into forum business, it has to be constantly improved with better and newer features. That's why I do not believe in free forum software that basically do not provide support and can't do much.

My Questions

1) I currently have a blog known as http://aboutsingaporecasino.com created using wordpress. I do not have the intention to change my blog address at the moment.

I am thinking of creating a new forum called http://forum.aboutsingaporecasino.com with vBulletin that can integrate with my existing blog. For integration, I would hope,

- my new forum will showcase the latest posts of my existing blog on its main page. Can it be done?

2) I wish to create a special section in my forum where users can showcase their photos from their own flickr account by posting a thread. Can it be done?

In addition, I would like the recently added photos to be displayed on the main page of the forum, can it be done as well?

3) I currently have a Facebook Fan page account, can I integrate them into the new Forum as well?

I am wondering if my forum members can actually share the forum content with their Facebook friends easily, it would great for me. Does vBulletin has an API built-in for this?

Sorry, I know I have too many questions to ask. Hope you guys can be patience with me.

Cheers,
Keith Ong
