migrating from PHPBB

[dstewart1017]

I have a site that is currently using a few programs and I am seriously considering the which to vb, but I have a few questions first.

My site has a custom membership area, when the user signs in they are also signed into the phpbb.

Is it possible to set this up with vb and is it difficult to set up? If it is possible, how long does it take? I have a php programmer set this up for me and I just moved to phpbb 4 months ago and I hope not to add a boat load of new costs. (I should have done my homework better on which forum to use).

One of the reasons I am looking to use vb is for use of the blog functionality. Currently I use nucleus, but i really dislike everything about it. Can this be integrated with the current membership area, one password, one login at my sites index to get to my membership area, the bulletin board and the users blog?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

vBulletin Blogs REQUIRES vBulletin for it to run. It uses the same registration systems, etc., it's basically an "extension" of vBulletin.

As for integrating with vBulletin, it is very possible.

Thanks for the reply. I would by the full vb package. To word my question better: Is it possible to integrate vb with my existing mysql database so users don't have to login to get to the main site and then log in again to use the post board or blog?

I hope that is a bit clearer.

I believe the easiest way would be to convert your membership database into vBulletin's. Then use vBulletin routines to log them into vBulletin as well as your site.
