One of the users (CoZmicShReddeR) mentioned that there are many forum owners who are using dark skins so the defult CSS which I posted in this modification may not fit their style so I decided to add two more CSS codes which would be great for dark skins.
1. Black Background :
.aionets_similar_threads{color:#FFF;float:right;ba ckground-color:#000;border-left:4px solid #676767;border-right:1px dotted #676767;border-top:1px dotted #676767;border-bottom:1px dotted #676767;padding:7px;margin:0 auto 8px}
2. Gray Background :
.aionets_similar_threads{color:#FFF;float:right;ba ckground-color:#5c5c5c;border-left:4px solid #000;border-right:1px dotted #000;border-top:1px dotted #000;border-bottom:1px dotted #000;padding:7px;margin:0 auto 8px}
If you are using your own custom code please feel free to share it with other users.
And please fee free to ask any questions regarding this modification.

Well actually I have done it for one of my customers with a website which has +260K threads and 1.5Million posts ... and its working great.
Actually it does not do anything serious ... it just moves the default similar threads section to the button of the first post.
If you have not been using Similar threads before .. you should try to rebuild similar threads as I described here :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2514360&postcount=15
please feel free to ask any question, it would be my pleasure to help.

Thanks, maybe its conflicting with our customized work done by a developer. Here's a sample url : http://www.managementparadise.com/forums/executive-mba-online-mba-distance-part-time-mba-degree-institutes/230603-investment-banking-institutes-mumbai.html
We already have the similar thread below first post but the way you did it looked more interesting :)

Well I do not see any similar threads at the end of the the posts list !
Would you please check if you have similar threads in other pages ?
Note : You site loaded so slow on my end so I tested it in WebPageTest .. here is the results :
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140918_NW_SYX/
a normal load and google friendly time should be less than 3sec ...
It thought you may want to know this.
:)
======= EDIT =======
Ok I found this thread with similar threads... I believe the customization which you mentioned is causing this issue.
Since my mod would work with the default similar threads ...
Anyways I am sorry about this issue.

It looks like you run the query EVERY time someone views the post?! holy crap that'd crash anything larger than a few hundred thread board.

Hey buddy, our server was under ddos attack . things should be loading quick now :)
I have uninstalled the product and the css customization. I hope that's all there was needed to uninstall. No hooks or traces left in the code right?

I believe he is referring to my mod... and I am working on it to optimize my codes.

Yes that is enough...
I can share my current work with you if you are interested ...
but you will need to do couple of manual template modifications ... it is a very simple plugin which you should add in plugins section .
Please send me a pm if you are interested.
Regards,
Ali.

Sure, If its for public, you can post instructions here. I remember searching for this modification for almost half decade from 2005 to 2010 with no recourse. We finally got it developed from our in-house team that I had put together then.
Your current mod looks a lot better I must admit :)

Actually it is an unfinished job as a product ... but today I successfully managed to make it work using the plugin system (not product).
So you should add it as a plugin so I prefer not to share the plane code here ... . Or you can just wait for some days so we can finish it as a *.XML product.

You'd really want to store the data you get from the queried posts

I created the plugin version of this product.
It would be a better solution for high traffic websites...
