Looks pretty cool if we can figure out the missing db table and maybe get some more info on the filed mapping.

If you are asking for Mailchimp, please read about it on following link:
http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/gett...ith-merge-tags

In vBulletin you have to add custom profile fields and map it with merge tags.

edit: nevermind, seems to be ok now!

edit2: ok the view cron log error is gone, and i can see there's a cron job set to run at 12:01 on the 1st of each month. However, when i force it to run now nothing happens. I'm not seeing anything happening in the API logs on the Mailchimp end either.
