I have updated my code above your post to show ways I have tried. I thought the post thanks hack would be a good reference point because it had the button where i wanted but I cant seem to get threadid within the template.

I read this post from kh99:

In your plugin code you can use $threadinfo['threadid']. If you want to use it in the SHOWTHHEAD template it's already registered, and you can use {threadinfo.threadid}. You would only need to register it if you're rendering a custom template, in which case you'd use register() (not preRegister). If you really do want to preRegister to one of the other existing vb templates (e.g. header, headinclude, footer), then you might want to use hook parse_templates (but it really depends on exactly what you're trying to do).

so how would I go about doing that the vb4 way? I just want to go back to vb3! lol
