If this forum and all its sub forums - Help on code please

[VirtueTech]

Hello,

In forumdisplay.php

I have this

if ($foruminfo[forumid]=="181" AND $foruminfo['usergroupid']==96)


How do I say if forumid = 182 and all its sub forums?
And How do I say if the user who posted the thread is in usergroup 96?

I can't use $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==96 because it doesn't give the user of the thread starter. It just checks to see if the user viewing the forumdisplay.php is in usergroup=96.

I want to display something is the user who started the thread is in usergroup 96.

Any help you may have to either question is appreciated. :)

Maybe for the second question I could say something like:

Check table "thread"

If (postuserid's usergroup == usergroup 96) then output code

Anyone know how I can do this?

$forum_children=$DB_site->query("select forumid from forum WHERE INSTR(CON
CAT(',',parentlist,','),',$forum[forumid],')>0");

where forumid is the parent forum.
