Hi,

I'm really trying to push my boards (http://www.servicepals.com/forums/index.php) as a private as well as public discussion system, and would like to show the number of private messages sent in total - not necessarily the number of private messages stored in the database, but the total number that have been sent.

Can anyone give me any pointers as to how I achieve this?

All the best,

Ross

ok simpliest way is to read the next autoincrement value right out of the table.

in index.php look for
above it add

then you can use $pmssent in the index templates.

That worked a treat!! Thankyou!! Using it on my forums now - amazed by how many PMs have been sent through the system - very encouraging.

Thanks so much for that dude,

Cheers for now,

Ross
