Nice... How did you do the sidebar?

Meh... Should've put the iframes in the YaBB template, not the other way around (so you can copy the url and actually go to a topic).

thanks for the suggestion. I sometimes forget that my 17" widescreen laptop (sorry i just like saying that hehe) has resolution twice the size of some computers so i dont notice the scroll bars...i will fix it though, thanks!

All the whoson mod boils down to is a Perl file written to spit out text. Edit whoson.pl to edit out the WhoHeader request, and to replace 'print qq~bla bla~;' commands with '$yywhoson .= qq~bla bla~;'
Then in your Subs.pl add in the template sub:
require "Whoson.pl";
To spit insert the whoson details, just add <yabb whoson> to your HTML template.

That's more or less it, you may have to do some tweaking, I'd probably actually copy the subroutines used in your Whoson.pl and paste them into your template sub; again changinf 'print' to '$yywhoson .= '- that way user details don't have to be called twice.

E.g.:

(In Subs.pl)
<search for>
sub template {
</search for>

<add after>
#Here just copy and past the subs you use in Whoson.pl, replacing print with $yywhoson as highlighted

sub WhoMembers {

     my( $memcount, $latestmember ) = &MembershipGet;
     &LoadUser($latestmember);
     $thelatestmember = qq~<A erprofile{$latestmember}->[1]</b></a>~;

$yywhoson = qq~
<FONT SIZE="$textfontsize">$txt{'201'}:<BR>
-- $thelatestmember<BR>
   <BR>   
   $whotxt{'12'}:<BR>
    -- <A HREF="$scripturl?action=mlall" title="View all users">$txt{'303'}</A><BR>
     -- <A HREF="$scripturl?action=mlalfa" title="View members by display name">$txt{'304'}</A><BR>
    -- <A HREF="$scripturl?action=mlpost" title="Click to view members by postcount">View by number of posts</A><BR>
</FONT>
~;

}
</add after>

Then you add in your HTML template; <yabb whoson>

You can do this as many times as you like- so your Whomembers sub could be called $yywhomembers meaning you use <yabb whomembers> etc. and so on.

This means all your yabb is called by one file- I quite like your current set-up because only a small amount of data is loaded each click therefore less bandwidth shorter wait each time etc.

yah, the board is the worst with 800x600. I tested it on most of the popular resolutions and it seems to be usable with all of them. Its better with 1024x768 and up though.
