New Posts Code not working in header

[johnstires]

I move this block of code to my header template. It was from the welcome block and was redundant.

The $newposts works on my vba pages but does not work on my regular pages. It just says "New posts: " without a number. Why would this be?

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">$vbphrase[new_posts]</a>: $newposts

The header template is evaled before that module is ever processed, so that variable is not going to work unless you add a separate hack.
