Not to lead you away from myBB, and talking of vanilla, have you seen
Vanilla Forums (Lussumo)?
Bit wierd to get used to, but I've been using it as a chat-room thing for our group for a while now and is easily customized at source...
He means vanilla as in just a forum not a CMS. That's cool that you tried to make one...i tried before i tried mybb.

I looked through Vanilla and it seemed the same. There was not a mention about "here's how to integrate a discussion forum into your website.
Yeah the whole 'CMS' part I don't need or want.
I just need an easy discussion forum add-on.
I DO like the look and feel of myBB.
Is there an easy way to disable all of the CMS-stuff? (Help section, Member List, Archive Mode, Control Panel, MyCode, probably much more)
I already disabled Registration. I still need to wire the Users tables to sync up with each other (probably via triggers on the orig. Users table)
You can delete:
memberlist.php
archive/*
usercp.php
And then remove the links from the templates (header, footer, header_welcomeblock_member).
For MyCode, just disable it for all the forums.
Thanks for the tips.
Question - where are the header/footer/header_welcomeblock_member templates?
You have to login and go to the AdminCP. Then go to configuration and then templates.

Thank you for this tip.
I did change the password check algorithm to use SHA-2 instead of MD5. However........now when I log into the Forum, it says
"You have been successfully logged in ......."
and then it refreshes to home page & says,
"Hello there, Guest!"!
How can I get it to say, "Hello there, Jason!"?
Hmph. >
Okay I'm developing this on a MacBook Pro with Leopard.
For cookie domain I type .localhost
For cookie path I type /forum/
It still doens't work.
I reinstalled everything and even with the original code, I still get "Hello there, Guest!" after I enter the admin stuff.
Any advice?
