Seems to be working great so far, I had to adjust a few things but at least it is useable! (better t han recieving a million emails with people wanting me to add their info by hand!)
Anyway, just a few cosmetic questions. How can I get rid of the 2px black line between each row? I know it is stacking the tables from the loop.. but can that be changed? I basically would like it to look like the list of threads in my forum. Even with the alternating colors, that would be ideal

I tried looking at postlist.php to see how they accomplished it, but I can't obviously see where it was done.
Also, not sure if this is easy to acomplish or not, but my users have been requesting the output in plain text as an option for those who want to load this info into their PDA. So I wanted to make a link on the index page say "Download PDA Friendly Version" and have it generate a plain text file they can just save.
It should be fairly easy I thought since all the functions are there to pull the info, but I don't know how to stick it into a blank file to be saved

But again, thanks for your help. This little exersize has really helped me understand php/mysql
