Have been using Photopost, Classifieds and Reviewpost with vB for quite some time and integration works fine. We currently integrate all three products with vB member database, vB header and CSS. We have it set up so each of the products has its own database This makes integration a little more difficult. If we had used one database for all, it would have simplified and made integration much easier. Another point worth noting is that while Photopost products do integrate to some degree with vB, there does not seem to be any real effort on extending or enhancing product integration. If anything they seem to be directing their efforts in the opposite direction by working to add their own version of forums, private messaging and enhanced photopost member profiles to the base product in their next release. So while it does integrate with vB. Expect basic vB integration but nothing much past that in terms of integration features or support.

Yes. Out of the box and easy to do.

We are using vB 3.6.5 and all works well.

Definately ask the question. From what I have seen, they do tell you up front what works and what does'nt.
For photos it works great but for multimedia/video support it lags far behind. Searching for a better multimedia product with vB integration is how I came across this thread. Like most sites today we need a decent multimedia gallery for our members where they can play inline videos by either uploading the video file directly or by posting their utube, myspace etc, url links. If you are looking for that kind of integration, Photopost is not your product. From reading their support forums I doubt very much if this is likely to change in any future release either. It seems this is not something they have much interest in including in their product(s).
