heya pt -- thanks for the help. ill check into that stuff.
how did it work in the original blam templates? (like my current boards,
here ). there, you have the forum_summary online list under forum info, like i want it, and up top in its own table (with mods) on the topic (etc) pages.
is that just because of individual coding?
also, in the forum_summary, "$pntf_locations[0]" is actually in the exact place i want the who's online info to be displayed. however, i cant get the boards to place the information there, without it being in its own little table (separate from a category)
