Any idea how to get some of the text from the first post in the thread to also appear in the blog? At the moment it only displays the thread title.

Also $threadid doesn't seem to work, it outputs 0 all the time.

This is what my code looks like.

// START BLOGMAIL MOD

//Define Variables
$posttitle = $post['title']; // Outputs vBulletin Post Title
$threadid = $threadinfo['threadid']; // Outputs Thread ID
$forumid = $foruminfo['forumid']; // Outputs Forum ID
$tags = $post['taglist']; // Outputs Tag List



if ( $type == 'thread') {

// START BLOGMAIL MOD

switch($forumid)
{

    case '161': // Replace xx with Forum ID (numerals).
    case '106': // Replace xx with Forum ID (numerals).
    case '18': // Replace xx with Forum ID (numerals).
 // case 'XX': Optionally use multiple cases to specify more than one forum.

$to = "*******@blogger.com";
$subject = "$posttitle"; // use $posttitle
$body = "Click the link below to read more on this topic.<BR><a href=http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/forumdisplay.php?f=$forumid>Full thread here.</a>";
$headers = "From: ******@marineaquariumsa.com\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit";
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
break;

    default;
// Either a reply or not in a forum that is used, just ignore.
    break;
}

}

//END BLOGMAIL MOD

You can see the 3 "case" lines with my 3 different forum numbers that I am pulling the posts from. Also I am using the $forumid as I couldn't get the $threadid working.
