Making a 'later' post the 'first' post

[Powlo]

Yeah title sounds confusing.. I'll try to explain.

Lets say in a particular thread there have been 10 replies. How could i make the 10th reply move up to be the first post. ?

You'd need to change the ID of the post, I guess.

Any ideas how that can be done?

Not the id of the post, you'd have to change the time of the post (and the corresponding info in the thread table - firstpostuserid and the time of the first post, etc). As for how, either get a mod that changes the time on posts, or do it via a query in your admin cp or using something like phpMyAdmin.

here is a mod i find that works quite well for changing the time or owner of a post

I should've known time rather than ID, that's what happens when you've been up all night :(
My apologies.

Use phpMyAdmin and execute a query to edit that value to an earlier time.

Thanks lynne, It will need to be a mod that i use as its something im likely to be doing on a regular basis. I'll take a look and see whats about.

That is for 'Canned Replies', not sure if thats what you meant to give me but i cant see how that would change the time plus i already have it.
