Hello all. I'm very new to all this and have just purchased the new Version of Vbulletin (3.0.1) and have a few questions...

1) What is a Portal? is this a way of running a web site and having the forums as a subsite?

2) I currently have my vbulletin running on the root of my web server... www.byte-psyche.com is this something I would have to change to use the vbIndex?

3) if the answer to my question in #2 is yes do I just move all the files from the root to a Directory below the root called forums and point my IIS to it for the Home page?

What I'd like to accomplish is to be able to use a web site as the Home page with a Store in it and have the Discussion forums as a link from web site with web site also containing the usernames and permissions from the forums. Am I looking at the right stuff here for this? Is this what vbindex is designed for.

Thank you for your help and patience with my nieveness...

Peace...
PS... I have seen NTLDR's stuff all over the sites here and guess he's one of the top coders here so I trust the Hack just want to be sure I'm looking at the right thing here for my needs...
