I have turned on the comment ability on the front page. This is simply for testing some things out and for anyone who wants to comment on an article, but may not want to join the forums to do so.

Unfortunately, Wordpress and vBulletin are two different animals and I have not been successful in marrying the two as of yet. Normally this means that in order to comment, you must also be a registered user of the Wordpress database same as the vBulletin. I am leaving that option off for now so that anyone, registered or not, logged in or not, can comment on front page articles if they want to.

There will also be the standard Discuss article in forums link on each article as well, for those of you who would rather reply in the forums.

Morbid, have you tried Jafo232's hack (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=134521)?

Yeah, to no avail. I may try it again, but there a couple different hacks out there that I just couldn't get to work. Also, if you read through the comments, some of these hacks break other aspects of Wordpress. The one you linked was the one I was really hoping I could get to work.

Maybe I'll take another look at it.

Well, it does seem that vB will be offering their own integrated blogging system soon (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=224441).

Yeah, keeping my eye out on that. Real curious how it will operate.
