Thanks for releasing :)

Yes, but then you will be running uncessary queries.

Thanks for the support Mist.

I ask you, how?

Good job, but it's a little overkill. First, I have the legacy postbit setting set to '0' in the settings. I make a profile field giving the user this option, and in my phpinclude_start template, I add an if statement to check the value of the profile field, and if it is set to the vB2 style, set $vboptions['legacypostibt'] to '1'.

No hacking required, no unneeded queries, just a simple template mod.

Nice work, but it's just overkill to do 9 file edits when none are needed. ;)

Okay so you don't want to do unneeded queries, but by not making two file modifications you're running unnecessary queries, I don't see how people aren't understanding.

And where would those unnecessary queries come from? It's a simple profile field/if statement combination. ;)

Run the debug mode you will see the template will be uncached by both showpost.php and showthread.php.

No you're right about the profilefield and if conditional no queries are required, but simply by using the postbit_legacy template it is not a cache'd template. My hack further optimizes that simple fact

Yeah, I didn't see that part of your post. Shouldn't postbit_legacy be cached by default? *goes to file a bug report*

Yes it should be, but it wasn't there so I made the necessary modifications.

There is a easier way to do this if you only want to switch between postbit_legacy and postbit templates in vBulletin 3. I'm using it without any file modifications or any extra queries.

But this is nice for having multiple style postbits :) Good Job G-force.

Are you sure? Because I know that the vbdevs did not cache the postbit_legacy, so by just using the template it requires extra queries if you did not make any file modifications. Just giving you the heads up, its modification 1 for both the showthread.php and showpost.php.
