1) We need to have the "Post New Thread" page elsewhere on our site. In other words, in addition to having the forum community there will be other portions of our site that needs the ability to post new threads without actually being in the forum - i.e. from other pages. Is that possible? To clarify, pulling the new thread form and putting it on another page?

2) If we would be passing information(i.e. threads and posts) directly into the vBulletin database, can we insert real specific information such as "tags" and also is there any technical issues in inserting data into the database directly?

1) Yes - this is possible with the vBulletin thread data manager.
2) You should not insert data directly into the database, there is more to creating a thread than just inserting the data. For example, some caches need to be rebuilt.

Thanks for the reply. So from what I gather, in lieu of inserting data directly into the database, we should be using the data manager?

I'll try to be more specific about what we need done. So we'll have the forum community. However, on other portions of the site, user actions will trigger a new thread in the forum. Specifically if a user is logged in, if they "post a review" which will be a separate function on our site, that will create a thread with the review. How would we get the vBulletin form into other areas of our site?

for #2, you can see how it work here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102418 ...

When we create a new entry, using the API is safer because even if the script is small, it answer all security verifications, formats etc...

btw, this is the Pre-Sales forum, we can not provide extensive answers for your needs until you are a license holder, you see that we have the answers for your needs...
