<BR>
$thrds[pagetext]
<BR><BR>
EOD;

This doesn't check permissions of course, but maybe you're not worried about that.
A bigger problem is that this doesn't handle bbcode in the text.

Thanks for helping me out, I'm not too good with plugins yet, template stuff is easy. 1 more question for ya, or anyone else who knows, I'm sure it would be pretty easy- any chance of making this just pick up the last thread posted/user/date/contents, instead of the last poster in a thread?

Thanks in advance,.
