As long as they are on the same server this can be (and is) done. If on multiple servers it is still possible but a lot more work.

thanx MarcoH64. Do you know of any how to's tutorials on how to do this?

Well basicly it is a chdit to your forumhome and then a call to global.php. After that the vB environment is initialized and you can do what you want.

There are many threads on this subject explaining how to do it, there are even some hacks that offer some of the most used functions out-of-the-box.

Sorry have no link ready atm.

Ok i found out how this can be done with the link above but now i was wondering where i can find the functions?
This is the code I want to include in my website..

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
			<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
			<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase>

how can i do this?
