Thanks so much for the tip, its much appreciated, can't wait to start on it tonight.

The content in $post['message'] is just the entire post in a raw format that the vb php files will process to make it html friendly right? For example if I edit $post['message'] to rearrange the content into columns via adding in html tables and such code, would it work?

Another followup question, if I want to edit the post to show any attachment images in a different style, is there a variable such as $post['message'] that handles the attachments?
