                       Don't know if this is the correct forum!
  What I am trying to do is create a welcome panel on my forums.  I wanted to include the avatar and such functions that they could edit their profile and stuff from there, but once you login I have no clue on how to get this stuff visible any help would be appreciated!
  This is what I have so far www.coruscantonline.net/forum/default.txt
  and here is a link to the forums so that you can visualize it. www.coruscantonline.net/forum
  Thanks in advance.
  I know that it has something to do with being able to access the forum SQL in FORUM_MEMBERS, but I don't know how to tie it all to together with the login session. |

                      |  Any Idea on how to accomplish this.  When you log in it refers you back to the default page.  I want the person to be able to see his/her avatar at the top of the default page along with some other information such as Private Messages stuff and so forth.  I know that you have to access the Forum Members table, but don't know how to tie it in with the Login Session.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

                       You probably don't need that mcuh SQL, but doesn't work ?
  Do you have a test user ?
  The code looks fine here, but obviously there is an error in the output. |

                       I don't know if it is an error in the output or me putting in the wrong tags.
  I have tried
  " & M_AVATAR_URL & "
  and
  " & rs("M_AVATAR_URL") & "
  and have not gotten any results with either

                       Test user ?
  Actually the proper usage is rs("M_AVATAR_URL"), so it should work   |
