Description:
Full credit goes to SaintDog (for his "Front Page Links" hack - URL: http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26) and Xiphoid (for his "Mouse Over Effects" hack - URL: http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14)

First of all, I?m not after any credit for this. I?m not releasing this to notch up my release count, nor any other selfish reason! I know a lot of people out there will know that something like this is really easy to do, but I?m not releasing it because it?s a feat of HTML coding. The main reason is because I know a lot of people wouldn?t have thought of this idea ? not to mention the fact that this will help people without any skill in HTML.

This release basically combines the two hacks mentioned above with a few modifications, in a ready made forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template. I find myself installing and modding vBulletin boards for companies all the time, this was designed to make my life easier. I?m releasing this in the hope that it?ll make other people?s lives easier when they develop their boards!
Modifications:
1) On mouse over colour change for the ?Last Post By? cell ? colour changes to {firstaltcolor}. On click, the user will be directed to the last post made in that sub forum.
2) On mouse over colour change for the ?Moderators? cell ? colour changes to {secondaltcolor}. On click, the user will be directed to the ?Forum Leaders? page.
3) As far as I could tell from SaintDog?s hack, there wasn?t a ?Search for all new posts in this sub forum? button like there is on vbulletintemplates.com. So, I added one.

Everything needed is in the zip. I?ve included the entire template rather than the individual modifications, because there isn?t really a lot more a person could have added to forumhome_forumbit_level2_post! However, if someone wants me to provide a file with step by step instructions for the code to modify, let me know.

Great mod! However, I just wanted to point something out--you tried linking the search image to /find.gif instead of /sm_search.gif. You should fix that... :)

I would also really like that.
But did you only combined the two other mods into one, or did you add something extra?[ex]

This is real cool. Is there a way I could do the same for sub-forums though? That would be nice. You know, to make them match. ^^;
