This is what i want to achieve.

i want to make a stand alone page outside of vb. that i can launch through the vb page.

Now what i need to be able to do is
grab the current style the user who clicks the link

so in the popup window no matter what the script is or content the basic tables and background colors and stylesheet will folllow the vb forum style

and i also need to be able to see the current forum members that are viewing that pop up page. and if possible whos online would show user viewing that page.

so
1. what do i need to grab to get the members style into a blank page
2. what do i need to grab the users browsing that page.

optional
1.how can i name the page something and incclude it into the forums database so when you look at whos online it will say *example Viewing so and so's Page*

If you have a CMS it wont be that difficult I think.
And then you can use "custom WOL locations" hack to show in whosonline if the user is browsing the page.
To have the page opened as a popup just have 'target="blank"' in the <a>
