has anyone successfully integrated the two programmes? If so would they be willing to share the procedure?

Thanks for your time.

You cant get vb and hm's login processes to be automated without extensive hacking.
I did this before their latest version and just havent gotten around to doing it again (to busy trying to solve other HM issues at the moment). I askes them about the login processes, but they want it that way (log in to vb, then you have to log into HM). Personally, me and the users think it sucks. It is also a security risk IMO as you can log out of vb and still be logged into HM.

The other integration offerings are not that hot either.
The ability for a user to see unread messages on their UCP is kind of cool (unless you have a catch all like me). However using that ends up throwing most styles out of whack and can slow down page loading big time. There should have been a little more thought to that (ie showing first x amount, then a link for more).

Anyhoo... like I said, I am still waiting on them to fix it so it will stop bringing down my server. Once that is sorted, I will look into hacking it for how users want it to perform.
