This suggestion has come up from time to time - however I'm REALLY desperate for it now!!!

Basically, I need the ability to have multiple vbulletin sites (same server) sharing 1 common user and PM system.

Could this not easily be instigated with having:

TABLE_PREFIX

and a

CLIENT_TABLE_PREFIX

It may not work in ALL situations - but it seems like it would be an easy step forward for many.

Thoughts?

There is seriously no thought on this topic?

I've thought about that as well, but it'd require all the sites to use the same database... I was hoping there'd be better options o have multiple sites use the same user system.

Like maybe LDAP. :)

It wouldnt require the same database, just the same server.

True its not as full featured of an implimentation as it could be, however it seems like it would address most of the people asking for this type of feature.
