*It modifies global.php, meaning that EVERY PAGE of your forum loads this information even though only index.php uses it.

heh.. i appreciate the alternate method of my own hack, and this might be at least *somewhat* better as far as not needing an ftp script.. i put it in global.php because i wanted to put my # of chatters on my vbhome(lite) page as well as forumhome (and anywhere else i might want to add in the future).

*It adds 1,150 lines of code to your mIRC.

nice exaggeration yours does the same thing

*Won't work if mIRC is in C:\Program Files\mIRC

add quotes to the local directory (ie. "C:\Program Files\mIRC" instead of just C:\Program Files\mIRC), and change the $mircdir variable in the mirc code to "C:\Program Files\mIRC" (with quotes) and it's fixed.

*Requires 24/7 FTP access

heh, i don't know of any hosts whatsoever that DON'T allow ftp access to your own site 24/7.

So I thought, why not have vBulletin AND mIRC interface with a PHP file?
Thank you eyeball and Rich for the inspiration to write this!

but at least you gave me props. thanks
