The forum i have now, during userjoin the user get registered at the site and at the forum.
I want to change this in a way that the forum read the site mysql table.

But what is the password encryption that 68classifieds usses,
I first thought md5, but when i tested it with a password and the md5 decryptor it didnt work,
So or the decryptor doesnt work or 68classifieds usses a different encryption.

as far as I know 68C uses md5. The whole point of md5 is that it cant be decrypted so with that in mind what you see most oftem is a database that holds an password and then its md5 encrypted counterpart. So your decryption is limited to searching whats been enteres by others in a database and its not really decrypted at all.

Yes currently we use md5 only. A lot of sites now are using salted md5 strings or going to sha1. So your forum may use something different.
