I have my own user database and "log" them into vBulletin by inserting them into session and setting cookies accordingly (sessionhash, lastactivity, lastvisit, and userid/password if they have "remember me")

This all seems to work fine.. I can get to the forums, shows I am logged in, I can view member-only forums, can post... BUT when the post is displayed, it has the correct username but indicates they are a guest.

Where am I going wrong with this? Obviously it should not show that they were a guest that posted...

Are you sure it only happens when they log in from the external authentication?

Hello

How do I include an external login on the non vB-pages. Would I have to just send and post the data through HTML or do I need to call PHP to get the md5 sums and hidden form data sent along too..

Just copy the login form from the navbar into your HTML file. Nothing is needed to be done unless you are bridging two systems.

Will nonvb.html submit the data using the md5 hash via client JavaScript and will it return back to nonvb.html with Login information? Can I call anything on that page so load external Private Messages feeds or Your Subscriptions list using this? Would I have to call it and how?

Yes, if you are using the navbar's code.

Don't know what you're saying there.

No. You will have to include global.php to fetch that data.
