im struggling with the impex because my wp default tables are all prefixed with wp_ and my old forum (bbpress) is prefixed with bb_ which confuses matters slightly since there is no generic prefix for the whole db

Arghh
Ok, I think it looks like I got a better understanding. I thought I imported the users incorrectly, however it says somewhere that importing the passwords accross doesnt usually work because of how the passwords are stored, so I have tried resetting a password for a user, and they now can log-in via the VB login page and are also authenticated on the WP pages (the comments say "Logged in as xxxx. Log out?") which is great!!!

I then found your widget which for logging in from the wordpress pages, which is the icing on the cake!

Now its time to get theming and see if I can make the vbulletin look as if it is integrated visually into my blog... this'll test my CSS skills.

Oh BTW Jeff, take a look at the logon widget http://www.itechcity.org - it doesnt look like the "screenshot1.jpg" image (the image that was with the widget). Am I missing some of your css? Could you tell me what css to add to the style.css file please?

Thanks,
