Thanks for your help but im already pretty comprehensive in PHP 5, HTML 5 and CSS 3. It's just the vBulletin part I thought would have been documented. That link is helpful though!

BTW, another thing this example doesn't handle is editing the thread.

I see so I would need to add a plugin that also reads the current info from the database and adds it in when editing?

I was initially going to do this but I don't have a test vBulletin site to do this on just my production one. I was worried about messing my site up.

I will take a look at some of the internal code and see what I can make of it. Thank you very much!
