PHP - Simple News Script Using Phpbb3 Help.

So I've got a simple news script that pulls the last 5 posts in a specific phpbb3 forum but I'm getting errors on the front page whenever they don't at least open the forums before. There errors:

To narrow it down a little more for everyone, When they visit the home page( http://im.deathwillow.com ) before visiting the forums they receive the following errors.  Once they have at least visited, not requiring a log in, the forums ( http://im.deathwillow.com/forums ) the errors disappear.  Any ideas?

Code: [Select]
