 * hi
    I’d like to allow/disallow users to make comments on my blog based on a condition
   they are actively registered and logged in to a VBulletin website – one I host
   say. I was thinking some kind of cookie authentication.
 *     ```
       if ( !isset($_COOKIE["VB_userid"])) {
        // You need to be logged in to VBulletin to post comments.
        // Disable comments form.
       } else { // Show comments form}
       ```
   
 * It’s a starting point although I doubt if it will be this simple in real terms.
   Could you give me any pointers as where to start.
