[Xenon]

replace the code

PHP Code:

$foruminfo['forumid'] = 10; 


with that:

PHP Code:

$forumid = 10;
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid); 


that should avoid the db error i think.

as for your second question.
if you just use the init.php instead of global.php i think it doesn't use your account, but does create the thread as well. (but i don't give guarantee for that )
