Doh! I should have thought to list that last night .. okie I put your code and the code for the # of posts here:

// if user is know, then welcome
$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread WHERE lastpost > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");
$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM post WHERE dateline > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
  eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");
  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logoutcode')."\";");
  eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_newposts')."\";");

} else {
  $welcometext = "";
  eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_todayposts')."\";");
  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logincode')."\";");
}
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
$avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
  if ($avatarurl=='')
    $avatarurl='{imagesfolder}/noavatar.gif';
} else {
  $avatarurl='{imagesfolder}/guestavatar.gif';
}

right above

$birthdaybits="";

I wasn't sure where it went, so that's probably the problem!

Thanks again.
