I have found an interesting way to use this mod that will suit my needs and have some preliminary testing and looks good. I am posting this just in case anyone else is interested and it may help them.

My site is setup using:
mydomain.net (the main domain)
mydomain.com.au
mydomain.ca
mydomain.us
mydomain.co.uk
etc

My Problems using this mod as is are:
1. The different styles seem to muck up after I log into the Admin panel (possibly just my site)
2. Many of my mods are licensed to one domain so I have to force users to the specific domain that has the license for the mod and then force them back to the domain of their choice
3. Mods like vba Dynamics etc requires hard coding of domain (have tried ../ but doesn't work properly)
4. If you have a mod that you want to be different per domain you can't install the mod several times in the one vb install to get it different per domain (eg Google Map to display Australia for .com.au, display UK for .co.uk, display USA for .us etc)
5. If I set my site up with the way I wanted to with multiple installs of the same mods that are tailored to the different domains I would end up with over 1,300 tables

So what I have done does require extra work and perhaps defeats the full purpose of this mod but gives you far more control over having different domains...it does cost more as well because you do need separate vb licenses.

I have several domains which are their own accounts in cPanel...no parked or sub domains...they are domains in their own right.

Each domain has a vb installation.

I installed this mod in each vb instance in each domain

Except for my main domain of .net I then renamed several tables in each of the other domains to table_old...user, userfield, usertextfield, pm, pmtext, pmreceipt, visitormessage, userlist, profilevisitor, sigparsed, sigpic, customprofilepic, customavatar, session etc

I then created a table "View" of those renamed tables using my main domain database...this basically shares the same users, pms, userfields etc across all sites. The Cerberus mod takes care of the cookie, salt etc.

So any user that registers, logs in or out is registered across all sites, logged in to all sites or logs out of all sites.

As I said it is more work as you have an Admin Control Panel per site and you need a vb license per site but it gives you complete control over all your sites in tailoring them to exactly what you want.

The other great thing with this is that the Search Engines treat each one of your sites completely separate giving you the opportunity top saturate Google placing a lot more.

So this post is just as perhaps and alternative for those that this mod, like me, doesn't exactly tick all the boxes 101%
