yes it can be done with the API and rather a lot easier then how Michael makes it sound. The problem is where do you want this, on the forum or on an external website? Because i've tried to call aspect from the API into the forum and they don't work. The forum system rejects any kind of PHP, even if they are being called from an external source as part of an javascript code. Though I assume if it was done in AJAX it could work, but i'm not sure if the API would still function right considering.

Like i've said the API don't work when trying to call the information onto the forum I tried to use the API to do a login check when I was designing an IM system for vF. I got the bar and suff to work, but any information that was being called via the API would break instantly. Even though the files where only being called from an external site, and not on the forum itself. Honestly if you know something I don't, i'd love to know because there have been several codes that I have wanted to have fragments called from. As far a si know, anything with PHP in it is rejected but i'm no expert, i might be missing something.

Tried that, it would kill any of the functions that were done in PHP and keep just the JS functions. The JS was for the display which it was the display files that where being called. Within the display files everything else was called, which was PHP. On an external website the codes worked perfectly, but when called into a forum all the PHP that was part of the API would just stopped working. I also know the problem isn't a cross domain problem since I have my forum set as a sub-domain on my primary domain. Well idk, if you can get it to work then best of luck to you XD

it COULD be done through the API actually, I didn't see this (or wasn't around at the time that you posted it!) so sorry firstly.

The API should (from memory) tell us the last time that the user logged in, so we can check that against the list of the posts that were made ... It's possible, but not something I can take on RIGHT now as I unfortunately don't have the time to .. but I will look into it, and perhaps if I get bored sometime over the next week or that, I'll do it.

Feel free to bug me to do it
