UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Welcome Newest, Total Post Combo - v5.46

Can someone help me change the code a bit for v5.45.
For the newer versions to check display options it is supposed to be:
----------------------------
if ($DisplayMemberTotal eq "true") {
open (MEMTOTAL, "$MembersPath/membertotal.cgi");
$TotalMembers = ;
---------------------------

In 5.45 the original code in Ultimate.cgi is:
-----------------------------
if ($DisplayMemberTotal eq "true") {
&GetMemberListArray;
my $TotalMembers = @members;
$MemberLine = "Registered Members: $TotalMembers";
}
------------------------------

So the hack needs to be modified a little bit by someone who is not a copy cat like me
Please

btw If I just replace the old code with new all else works except it is blank after the "number of registered members"
