Firefly - what a timely post.

Thanks for this information.

While we're on the subject, I was working over the weekend trying something along the same lines.

I have Photopost installed along with vbulletin and I want to pop-up a little javascript message or display a blinking "photo gallery" graphic if there have been new photos posted in the gallery since the users last visit.

The problem I was running into was selecting the photopost db in index.php. It would appear to get selected properly (since servername, username & password) are the same, but then I went to select data from the photpost db, I would get a message returned a string that said something like "Resource ID 27".

I'm fairly confident the select_db was working ok becuase if I did not reselect the Vbulletin db at the end of my code, vb would throw errors.

any ideas????

thanks if advance Firefly!
