I don't see how a link to your website would give people a better idea? Mog probably would since he did it for his site: http://www.biorust.com <-- check it out!

Open forums/SSI.php and find the code entries to use in a php include. I have Invision on here, so I'll show a couple of code examples with it, but it should be close to the the same with the Simple Machines Forum. The command string to put in your website header may be as complex as

Code:

<?php
include('http://www.darkproto.net/forums/ssi.php?m=posts&a=categorytopics&category=1&order=lastpost&start=0&show=5');
?>

or as simple as

Code:

 <?php include('http://www.darkproto.net/forums/ssi.php?m=stats&a=members'); ?>

Those are copied directly from my header.php file. You'll just have to look around in the file and see what options you have to play with.

I'm afraid that my board runs on vbulletin, so I don't know exactly what code will work for you. The principle is simple though - if you can read the date/time stamp from the forums cookie reporting the time that the user last logged in, you can run a mySQL query to count the number of posts made since that date.

Maybe try the whole path (i.e. from root as opposed to just relative)
