I have to admit that I'm a bit of a n00b myself when it comes to initial setup of vB so all of the issues you experienced are likely config. related rather than software issues.

vB is actually on a test site at the moment and on the wrong server so it's really not an accurate depiction of it's end functionality. Unfortunately, we can't test vB on my server account until Lifesupporters.com is on the new server and DNS has propegated to the new address.

Also, it may be a while yet before we even make the move to vB because our database is currently non-compatible with vB. We have to translate our db to phpbb and then to vB which is a long and very involved process.

Lastly, the Joomla site is a CMS that neither I or cb know anything about nor are either one of us sold on it's functionality. I do like the fact that it's extremely robust but it's remains to be seen if we can use it as the vB bridge costs money to integrate with Joomla and the url's are not SEO friendly.
