Why is is the admin for amember doesnt allow the admin access to vbulletin If you protect the vbulletin folder there is no way for the admin to get access without creating a user in amember, then logging in to pass amember protection, very confusing..
In my experience this is a "feature" of vBulletin. If you log into vBulletin via the public forum and then switch to the admin section it requires you to log in again.
