Well, Just make a PHP page that shows what you want. Use a META-REFRESH tag to have it refresh itself every 60 seconds (I'm assuming that'll work in the "toolbar"). I'm not sure of the specifics for vBulletin, but the database structure isn't that difficult. Just pull use LIMIT to pull out the latest post, format it, and display it on the page...
Do you still need help? Maybe you should get more specific as to what you want... ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Lewis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "1LT John W.
