Aha!!! Thank you very much. I'll give those a try.

BTW, as you can probably tell I'm new at this. I have gone through the docs, the 3 sample plugins, and even the sources in GForum themselves but I obviously missed them. Without you, I wouldn't have figured this out. How could have I done this myself? I'm asking because there maybe other hooks I'd be interested only if I know they existed.

Again, thanks for the tremendous help so far.
