I am doing my best to follow the instructions in the document called vB3 Integration FAQ but I am having no luck. Part of the problem seems to be in the file called header-inc.php which seems to have either inaccurate or incomplete comments.
In the FAQ there is a FAQ point called "I cannot get my vB3 headers to work". Under this there is an instruction that reads "If you are doing a new install, then you should uncomment and modify the vB3 section".
When I go in to the header-inc.php file I see NO vB3 section but I DO see one labeled vBPortal, which is fine because that's what I'm using. Here is what it says:
"// vBPortal Integration
// If you want to include the vBPortal header, footer, and left menu, remove
// the "//" slashes from the beginning of the 16 lines of code below, and change
// "/home/public_html/vbportal" to your actual path to vbportal's main directory,
// and change "/home/public_html/photopost" to your actual path to PhotoPost's
// directory. This will override the default header and footer variables set in the
// PhotoPost admin panel."
The problem is that there are no references to this path "/home/public_html/vbportal" it in fact reads "/" and when I change it to reflect my server setup I get an error.
Below that it reads " require("mainfile.php");" but there is NO mainfile.php so I'm assuming that this is intended to mean the "index.php" file. When I do this it in fact gives me an incomplete vBPortal styled, sort of, page.
While I do, of course, need to fix these problems my actual reason for posting this is just so I can see if I'm actually now in the Verified status in terms of being able to read hidden code from the Forums here.

Any insight/feedback/ideas appreciated. Jerome
