Need some code (plz)

[Sebastian]

Greetings.

I used to have this on phpbb.. Basically, I want to add a section to my front page that displays your PM status.

When you have an IM it goes something like:

<image blinking> You have 1 PM (from: Username, Username)

then when you have no PM's the images gets replaced with something else (or nothing is shown). it also shows who the PM's are from, even if you have more than one PM. I know this isn't too hard I was able to do it with phpbb pretty quick. I am new to vbullentin and have no idea.

Lastly, What code do I need to get the total amount of user online, I want to also add a section to another page that shows how many user are online.

Any help is appreciated.
