Hi Marco,

I believe what you had mentioned is a one-time process of copying users to vbulletin database.

1. What happens when a new user register at the forum and not our website first? What should be the set of procedures to adhere at the programming side?

2. What if the user login at our website and then access the forum, how will they be automatically detected as logon in the forum also?

Thank you.
