Someone has to have done this!!!!! I think I am editing the right file (global.php won't work from what i've analyzed), but it simply is the fact of trying to get the thing to update my database and not mess up when it tries to update vB's database. It may be in the function calls; I first tried using functions such as mysql_fetch_array, but then I used vB's own class in db_mysql.php to see if that'd fix things. I feel as if I am very close, just need that silver bullet to get this going.
