1. $post[user_article_count] uses the existing array that the showthread.php uses, so all i had to do is echo it.. showthread.php already SELECT * from vb3_user ...
2.you could do that, but it would be better to have 1 additional query used whenever posting a new article than adding an additional query to showthread.php which is excuted alot more times, therfore better performance :]
