They have a nice box that shows the latest posts and by whom.
Its not a snitz forum though, but the code must be similar ?? (ish)

i have been looking in the default.asp
if NewMember_Name <> "" then Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewline & _ " <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ colspan=""" & sGetColspan(6,5) &_ """>" & _ "<font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """>Please welcome our newest member: " & _ "<span class=""spnMessageText"">" & profileLink(NewMember_Name,NewMember_Id) & "</span>.</font></td>" & vbNewline & _ " </tr>" & vbNewline end if
but i cant get it to work, it dosn't write anything at all just a blank page, i did put the code into a new asp page, but on the same directory as the forum to make sure that all the include files are there.
can someone help,????

that's because you are using functions and variables that are specific to the forum. You either need to set up your own connection to the database and get the information you need or you can look into something like the Content Display Mod at www.snitzbitz.com |

This is more complicated than you think...
You need to look at all the code in the WriteStatistics subroutine that is in default.asp and determine what code is needed. For instance the SQL code in there is needed. Then determine what include files are needed and any variables that were declared outside that subroutine that might be used in that subroutine might be needed.
You could write your own code writing script for the newest member would require a query to the database. That should be easy for you. However, writing a script for the newwest post is more complicated. As it requires to look at the security level of ALL the forums. Becuase forums can be password protected and hidden as well as allowing only certain members. You ahve to figure out how it is working now when it display that stat and then write the code.
Yours in deepest gratitude,

Not sure what you are talking about but when checking the Topic the writestastics checks to see the security issues with the forum that is set. For example if it is hidden (that one I know of) forum then you are not wanting people to know that has the newest topic. Make sure you are checking security stuff for the topic. Unless you never plan on having a hidden forum or allowed members only forums,ect.
And if you got it to work fantastic, think about making it available through a mod program to other people.
Many blessings,
Sacred
