My goal was to combine the chat with a thread via code and it still is but instead of doing that in the off season I now have a baby boy so ... priorities and all

If I can get time I plan on going back to that project. I can already make the thread show up in the chat. Just not the other way around yet. Suffice to say it's a lot more tricky to add posts to the forum (add a post, add to the user's post count, add to the forum count, etc.) via code without breaking something than it is adding a line to the chat function.
Anyway, got off on a tangent there. Happy opening day everyone!
