Topic: Sharing a user's database using 1.1.* and 1.2.3

I currently use Punbb 1.1.* on my website for one forum, but I'd like to run another forum (Punbb 1.2.3) using the same users table. So basically, if you registered on 1.2.3 or 1.1.* you'd be a member of both forums and share basic settings. (Not posts or Topics, just users.)

Also I suppose you might be wondering why I don't want to upgrade my 1.1.*, well I have features, setting, mods, and most importantly my skin which I'm not willing to part with to upgrade, but on the other forum, I really want to take advantage of all the excellent new features of 1.2.3.

Is this possible without much changing of the source code? If so, could you advise me to some sort of starting point or what might need to be changed?

Thanks for any help.

sounds like a very bad idea to me, a better way would be to update the old forums db then use that user table, then make your own register.php that added the 1.1.x data to its table and the 1.2.x data to its table

Connor, I think we got the point tongue

Do, or do not.
