I had a quick look over them before, but they are full gallery solutions. All we want is to target a specific post/thread and have it displayed in the way we want.
I still find it hard to believe you can't query external.php (or similar) with
http://path/external.php?threadid=xxxx and get it to spit out the info from that thread for displaying. I could sort of understand if it couldn't show attachments, but this is as basic as functionality comes IMO.
Any more ideas?
