echo "<img src=".$user['avatar'].">";
echo $user['newpms'];

It's not actual code but u get the point...Is something like this possible to do with vBB? Also is there a way to get user member groups to external page and other info...? If yes I am off to buy vBB

If you include vBulletin's global.php file in your project, you can access the entire vbulletin engine from user information, group information, template system, forum information, whatever you need.
