I've tried using phpbb a while back and is a pretty well developed program. Many
times you can find extra modules at their site that are already designed and
tested, and offer an easier approach then introducing new code that hasn't been
debugged thoroughly.

From what I remember the program uses template type files and may need to trace
the program a little. That way you can get an idea of how it connects to your
MySQL, which files it uses to pull the information, and how it passes that
information the template files.

You may need to dig through the code a bit and make an outline or flow chart to
get an idea of where you can add your code to get information from your new
table.
