Similar to what we see in vB3. How would one go about applying numer_format to threadcount and replycount on forumhome, and replycount and views in forumdisplay.

It can't be all that tough to do. I played around a little myself and couldn't figure it out, but I'm no PHP guru by any means.

And for those who may not be following my request, what I mean is to have numbers for the Numbers of posts, replies and views that currently appear like this in vB 2.x.x

100000

appear like this

100,000

in your index.php you find this line:

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

before it add:

$forum[threadcount]=number_format($forum[threadcount]);
$forum[replycount]=number_format($forum[replycount]);

it would be quite similar in forumdisplay.php for threads ;)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The code I used was actually // Number format hack
$forum[threadcount]=number_format($forum[threadcount]);
$forum[replycount]=number_format($forum[replycount]);
// end number format hackAnd I put it right where you said to. :)

Thanks again. And for anyone that wants to know how to do post counts and view counts, I just put the code // Number format hack
$thread[replycount]=number_format($thread[replycount]);
$thread[views]=number_format($thread[views]);
// end number format hack
right before where the forumdisplaybit template was executed in forumdisplay.php.
