	ok...so at least SOMETHING is working :) I think there is something like this: $lastread is defined now ONLY for the thread you are viewing. You think it would work if I defined another variable to the $lastread info read from the file?

	The trouble is the three subroutines getlog, modlog and dumplog. They call each other, and the problem is finding out which one isn't passing the variable to the other two.

	let's see...getlog passes it on, dumplog writes it, but modlog was never changed to do anything about it?

	When a thread is viewed, display.pl calls the dumplog subroutine, passing it the new information to save to the users log. &dumplog($mnum,$mdate,$mreplies); Dumplog calls modlog to format the information. if( @_ ) { &modlog(@_); } Modlog calls getlog to read the existing information from the users log file. unless( defined %yyuserlog ) { &getlog; } Getlog passes this information back to dumplog via modlog. return $yyuserlog{$entry}; This is why it is confusing!

	why should all be so complicated with this! I've added $lastreadr into all return statements now...

	krikket you still need a board to test this on? Or is your server back up? If you do I can throw up a test board on my server. I'm going to do it anyhow but I can give you access if you want.

	@krikkert: Take Gobalopper up on his offer, and you will see what I mean.

	Yep I had a few guys test it out with me and I get the same problem BHRA had. It only writes a \| and nothing else. Also recent posts doesn't seem to work properly anymore, it just lists the last post from the thread. ie I have two threads and it only shows the last two posts from those threads. I'll mess around with it some more see if I can figure out some of the problems.

	Quote: There's lots of @_ and $_ to deal with, so this may take a while! is @_ what is being sent to the routine through &routine(parameter1, parameter2); or is it also what is returned from a called subroutine?? EDIT: @gobalopper: yeah, my board is still down

	If you use Code $result = &routine($parameter1, $parameter2); sub routine { my ($parameter1, $parameter2) = @_; $variable = $parameter1 + $parameter2 return $variable; } This sends parameter1 and parameter2 to the subroutine, which receives it by looking at @_ or $_. The subroutine sends back the information specified in the return statement, so $result = $variable. However, the subroutines in this case don't return the variables directly, but use %yyuserlog instead. (at least that's how I think it works! I'm still learning this stuff!)

	what if we make the routine do it the normal way, with $variables instead of %hashes?

	I think the %yyuserlog is used because it's sending lots of variables between the different subroutines, not just one... ...Besides, I don't want to mess around with it too much, in case we break something else!

	why not just change a little bit of code so that the $yyuserlog{$entry} = $time\|$lastread; or something?

	I tried that, it still only saved $lastread for the thread currently being viewed.

	hmm.....what about saving the lastread things in a separate log file?
