Thank you so very much for all your help and for the wonderful hack :bunny:

n/m im a idiot lol

it says in instructions:

Find:

doformfooter("Update");

Add after:

// vBindex - add postid to thread table
doformheader("misc","updatepostids");
maketableheader("Update postid's For Threads</b> - adds the postid of the first post in a thread in the thread table<b>","",0);
makeinputcode("Number of threads to do per cycle: ","perpage","2000");
doformfooter("Update");

I have 4 lines of those in vb2.2.9

Do i add it after each line?

I dont get this instructions here:

Step Three: |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Still in vbindex.php find the section that has:

// start vBulletin original code
// -------------------------
// add here the vBulletin code of the original index.php
// lines 142 - 202(in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)
// -------------------------
// end vBulletin original code

and replace:

// add here the vBulletin code of the original index.php
// lines 142 - 202(in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)

those lines with lines 142-202 (thats the numbers in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)

line 142 starts:

$activeusers = "";
$loggedinusers = "";
if ($displayloggedin) {

and 202 ends:

$totalonline=$numberregistered+$numberguest;
$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;

+
+++
+

omeq -

go into your /forum/index.php

and find

$activeusers = "";

then

about 15 lines down i think, ther is

$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;

highlight

$activeusers = "";

to

$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;

COPY/PASTE that data in vbindex.php over

// add here the vBulletin code of the original index.php
// lines 142 - 202(in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)

then save.

Read back a few pages. NTLDR answered this for me.

Is there a way to use this outside the main vB directory if so how?

I'd like it better if you emailed the answer to ori@wideopenwest.com because I can never weed through all these posts

Please read the first post and the instructions.

@Oricon - Search for "dir";)

Thanks for the wonderful hack NTLDR-it's running flawlessly here and is exactly what I was looking for...
