elenh, you added this variable without $?

Maxim, you get my PM?

With $...
Sorry ,without the "$" its works fine.

When I click 'hot thread' it just blanks.

cannot see the pic of the hot thread, how can i set a poster for a thread ?

should use hook
i do not prefer file edit

Server Load ?

yahoooh, if you find a hook that can replace an entire class - let me know:)
jambo_1969, no:)

any way to show the hot threads by order of the amount that the users have hot threaded it? Also, any way to make hot threads delete themselves every X days, for example I want to see new hot threads every 7 days.

I forgot to mention that when I click on the hot thread list it doesn't do anything :(
