Automatically create a new thread from outside vb

[Shepski]

Hi

What I am wanting to do is:

I have a review section on my site. When someone posts a new review I would like to add to my reviews code a section which will loginto vb and create a new thread in a defined forum which will be something like:

Subject: New [reviewtype]

Message : A new review has been postsed for [reviewname]. See it at [theurl]

is this possible? would it be wise to create a user to use with this which can only have permission to post in a certain forum which the code would use?

well, i think this review users aren't from your vb-database are they?

you can insert threads directly via the database:
so your script has a db-connection just run two insert querys, one inserts the thread, the other one the first post.

you don't need to create a dummy user, because you are working directly on the db, you can make them as a guestpost, which has the username of the reviewer (or any dummy user name..)
