I've been looking for a forum for a while, and have decided that vBulletin is without a doubt the best. But I can only have one mySQL database on my hosting provider. And I will need to use it for other things as well as the forum. Is there a way I can find out which table names vBulletin uses so that I'll know what tables to use as I design my site?

I'm not sure if that falls into the realm of public knowledge or not.

To be safe, you could prefix all your content tables with site_tablename, or xtablename. So that way if you need to "user" tables, one would be called xuser. And if all of your site content table start with x, they'll all be together and in alphabetical order :).
