 The following are things to note with the vBulletin bridge functionality.  These are not necessarily due to any "bugs" or "problem" with the bridge, but are just the nature of how the vBulletin bridge works since it is a **one-way bridge**. The following are things to note with the vBulletin bridge functionality.  These are not necessarily due to any "bugs" or "problem" with the bridge, but are just the nature of how the vBulletin bridge works since it is a **one-way bridge**.
  
 +  - If you see an error to the effect of "config.php file could not be found" keep looking for that file.  Yes you may have found one but in a version update vBulletin has started using another one somewhere else in their software.  Yes that means there could be two of these files in their installation.  Look for that other config.php and insert the path to that file and test the bridge again.

   - If the password in Geo software and vBulletin get //out of sync//, **changes will not be synced for that user** as a security precaution, if the user pass doesn't match up that might mean the users are not actually the same person.  To fix you will need to manually update the password in both installations to ensure it is the same in both. <   - If the password in Geo software and vBulletin get //out of sync//, **changes will not be synced for that user** as a security precaution, if the user pass doesn't match up that might mean the users are not actually the same person.  To fix you will need to manually update the password in both installations to ensure it is the same in both. <
  
 +====== Important Configuration for vBulletin 4.2.x ======
 +
 +If using vBulletin version 4.2 (confirmed on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 (all patch levels) as of this writing), you must make a small change to the vBulletin PHP code in order for the bridge to work correctly. If you need assistance making this change, open a Support Ticket with us.
 +
 +Open the file **includes/functions.php** in the vBulletin install. Near the top, you should see:
 +
 +<code php>
 +/* Navbar stuff
 +Dont use DIR here, the Dev scripts dont like it */
 +require_once('./includes/functions_navigation.php');
 +</code>
 +
 +Replace the above code with this:
 +
 +<code php>
 +/* Navbar stuff
 +Dont use DIR here, the Dev scripts dont like it */
 +//GEO EDIT: add DIR here, so that it works with the bridge
 +require_once(DIR.'/includes/functions_navigation.php');
 +</code>
 +
 +and then save the file. This corrects a file include path that cannot otherwise be accounted for from the GeoCore side of things, and will allow the bridge to function normally.
