PhotoPost was designed to work with VB when both are installed. When the VB integration is turned on it uses VB's style sheets, user database and many of its settings.
The same applies to the new CMS (Content Management System) that I now use for most of the site. If I make a style change to VB it now shows up everywhere. The new Links system is another 3rd party program designed to integrate with VB and the new Classified system which is just about ready to roll out also integrates with VB. VB is the King of forum software and many software companies are hitching their wagons to them.
One of the advantages of all the integrated features is the ability to put highlights of every feature wherever I want. For example, the new homepage I'm working on will have featured forum threads, blogs, recent classifieds, random links and Photopost pictures all on one page. This kind of integration is something I've dreamed about for a long time and is all made possible by the (free) CMS program that now controls everything with VB as the core.
