Ah, thank you! I will do that and post back here to let you know how it goes.

In the interim, here's a question I'm almost certain will come up:

Whereas newthread.php is inside the vBulletin folder and code hierarchy, the pages in which I'll need to put the links to create new threads will, by necessity, be located outside the vBulletin folder. Will I need to do something special to incorporate elements of the code hierarchy on those outside pages?
