How to access $threadbits??

Thanks kh99.

Yeah, I noted that also, and attempted a few cut and paste permutations to try and set it up in my test.php file, making sure to do all the includes, etc. that were called for in forumdisplay, but thus far haven't found the right mojo. Only a small part of my failure can be attributed to being in a hurry. The bulk of my failure so far, I think, has more to do with the fact that this is apparently going to take some detailed study of forumdisplay.

I just hate to get into it that deeply, and re-invent the wheel when I feel that someone else must have already done it, and have the boilerplate code. So far though, it's looking more like I'm going to have to dig in.
