Thanks - I thought from what you said it was easier to turn the query results into variables then use those in a template - I didn't really know if that was the easiest way of doing it, in all honesty, what I did looked untidy so I didn't want to use it.

My total aim is to have this on the forumhome - in or around the what's going on box - so it blends in seamlessly - that is the next step but I think that should be fairly simple to achieve with some searching.

Would what I posted above work - putting the queries into variables then passing those to a template?

Thanks for your assistance, I appreciate it.
