From your script and what you said it looks like you require the global higher up before you chdir to the forum.

I did chdir into the forums directory before including the forum files--it's actually the first non-commented-out line in the script I posted. Calling global is the first line in the script, it can't be called any earlier than that

I've personally found chdir to be so irritatingly incosistent when working with vBulletin that I just moved my files top level files into the /Forum/ folder and then just set my top-level .htaccess to show /Forum/filename.php as the main page.

I don't know what the CMS is, let alone have access to it, nor how to use an RSS feed grabber. However, the whole purpose for getting a vBulletin, for me, was to write scripts to interact with it, for educational purposes. That's why I didn't just download a "portal" designed to interact with vBulletin.
