[b]Notes:[/b]
The only reason I have put the actual forums in different classes is because:
- A different version can have different functionalities you want to implement
- The post string is different (I could have put a string container though for all the classes, but I didn't ~ see previous point)

If you want to add different types of forums, just let your forum inherit from the class 'Forum', you'll want to include a cookie name (and maybe value) to verify if the user is logged in. You'll always will need to override the isLoggedIn() method aswell. I don't read the actual html from the response because it is just timewaiste, checking cookies is much faster.

You can easily change the sync webrequests into async ones if you would want to login to different sites simulaniously. I might post a tutorial later on about this.

Examples to add forumobjects and login:


Dim wrkr As New HTTPWorker()
'Dim phpBB2Forum As New phpBB2("http://www.myurl.com", "username", "pass")
wrkr.login(wbb)
Dim vBulletinForum As New vBulletin("http://www.myurl.com", "username", "pass")
wrkr.login(cf)
Dim myBBForum As New myBB("http://www.myurl.com", "username", "pass")
wrkr.login(bb)
Dim phpBB3Forum As New phpBB3("http://www.myurl.com", "username", "pass")
wrkr.login(phpBB3Forum)
