The latter is great as our customers tend to mention competitior's in their posts and prior to making it easy for them to use our products and links, they didn't really do so.

I did have to mod the mod so that it only showed active products (showed all "hidden" and "inactive" products as well). But, overall, it's a great integration of users.

Now if only I could automatically assign memberships upon forum registrations or if it was phpBB to X-Cart vs. only XC to phpBB ... then forum users coukld receive discounts and other membership priveledges ... that would be excellent!

Mind sharing your site with me so I can look at your setup? You can PM me if you don't want to put it in this post. I know some people will abuse.

Thanks!
