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?
