Well I have modified the top of the code a bit so that the code would work if the $user_id was blank. I tried both the $userid and $USER_ID and still nothing.

So I can ensure that its not an error with there being no userid or username.. Unless my code is wrong?
Here is the modified original code:

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin;
require_once('./global.php');   

$con = mysql_connect ("xxxxxxx","xxxxxxx", "xxxxxxx"); 
 mysql_select_db ("xxxxxxx"); 

$userid = intval($_COOKIE[bbuserid]); 
$sql = @mysql_query("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid=$userid");

                while ($row = @mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
                $name = $row['username'];
                $icon = $row['icon'];
                $color = $row['color'];
            }

if($color == 0)
            {
                $color = "#989579";
            }

if ($icon == '')
            {
                $icon = 'http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/images_all/chat_ranks/new/user.png';
            }
            

if ($userid == ''){
            
                $username = 'Guest';    
            } 


I have also attempted to see if maybe another approach would work. Yet nothing. Again, unless I did something wrong?

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin;
require_once('./global.php');   
   
   
//if (!isset($_SESSION['userid'])) $_SESSION['userid'] = rand(1, 24);
//$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
$userid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$username = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

if ($userid == ''){
            
                $username = 'Guest';    
            }
