display myh threadbits with pagetext the same way vbadvanced uses its news module

[speaksell]

hello everyone thank you for all your great work,

I am looking to change the way my forumdisplay page looks, I want it to work more like the way the news module works in vbadvanced. for example I want my threadbit to contain not only the title of the post but the pagetext as wel. Is there anyway to do this.

thank you in advance

There is actually already a variable for it being used in the template:
<div class="threadinfo" title="{vb:raw thread.preview}">
so take that preview variable and use it where you want.

the problem with this is that I have youtube videos that i want to display and they do not display using the preview variable,
