OK inch by inch I am getting there - I just have one thing I am stumped on

this would be the basic code

if ($lastvisitdate=="Never") {

$xyz="on";

} else {

if ($bblastvisit<<b>$forum</b>[lastpost]) {

$xyz="on";

} else {

$xyz="off";

}

the $forum is where I am stumped - I know this is what $forum is

$forums=$DB_site->query("SELECT forumid,title,description,displayorder,lastpost,la stposter,replycount,threadcoun t,allowposting FROM forum WHERE active=1 AND displayorder<>0 AND categoryid=$categoryid ORDER BY displayorder");

while ($forum=$DB_site->fetch_array($forums))

Ok that is all good and well, but what the heck do I need to replace $forum with to get the specific forum that I want - I know it is not as simple as the forum id, tried that.
