Many of the www.elearningforce.dk users were unhappy with the bridge.
Although it requires you to use modified vB files, bbpixel's bridge was the best for integration with Joomla 1.0.x series.

with Joomla 1.5 around the corner, a new component to integrate Joomla 1.5 and vB has emerged, read about it here
I am going to try it with my vB.

What about these issues:

However, the Elearningforce bridge (friendly and prompt service and all, that's not the problem) didn't work for me because of several issues:
1. When people register, they register in Joomla and this means they will not fill in all the profile fields like in vBulletin.
2. New members who register in Joomla, are not added to the vBulletin database.
3. When they ask for a new password in Joomla, they get a new one but from Joomla, not from vBulletin. And then they can't login at vBulletin. The only solution is to turn off registration in vBulletin, so people only register in Joomla. I didn't want that.

It all comes down to the following: I wanted to register new members in vBulletin (so they fill in all profile fields, see the rules etc.), and have new passwords also sent via vB. My vB board is the hearth of my site and the vBulletin memberdatabase has to be leading, not the Joomla one.

So I mailed BBPixel with a lot of questions, since I now knew exactly what problems there could arise with a bridge. All questions were answered and I ordered the BBPixel plugin and had them install it. Works perfectly, without any problems. All login, passwords etc. go through vB.

I also had BBPixel skin my board to match the rest of my Joomla site. This also went fine, although it took a bit longer then anticipated.

When you decide for one of these options, you have to ask yourself which part of your site/ memberdatabase has to be leading: vBulletin or Joomla.

Thanks!
