Italics for threads with new posts

[SweetSVT99]

Does anyone know where I can find the hack to change the font to Italics for threads with new posts in them? I'm pretty sure I have seen it before, but I searched all over here and can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

This is pretty easy. First thing you want to do is open up forumdisplay.php and look towards the end of the file (for me it was around line 633) for
eval("\$forumdisplaybits .= \"".gettemplate('forumdisplaybit')."\";");

replace that with...


if (substr($thread[newoldhot],0,3)=="new") {
$italics="<i>";
}
eval("\$forumdisplaybits .= \"".gettemplate('forumdisplaybit')."\";");
$italics="";


Then edit the forumdisplaybit template, inserting $italics after
<td bgcolor="#13486D" align="left" width="70%"><normalfont>
