no, i'll just stick to my guns on the link UNDERNEATH the menu :)

can i see this in action? :D

What do you mean? You lost me there.

could i get the url of one of your threads with an introduction?

okay i fixed the problem with the blank page on my attempt at further integrating the link to the thread introduction editor (it was only on the move/copy option, btw)...i've tested the javascript and it works fine...see post#1 for the new template to use

I see you took the "post = action" thing out at the top. I figured it had something to do with that. Just a hunch. :) Now, how about my idea of being able to have either the thread[title] or thread intro be different and be allowed to use either one? :)

this is not difficult. find in showthread.php:

and replace with (make sure you take the spaces out of < normalfont > and < /normalfont >:

so can i get your URL to view this? :D

Sure, here you go.

My Thread Intro

But I ran into a problem. When I chnage the thread intro title now, it alos changes the thread title. Any ideas?

Forget the last message. Problem solved and it works great! Now, all you have to do is have it maybe show the current title on the left of the edit box (or somewhere, just not inside it) incase we make a mistake editing it and don't want to have to start over from the beginning. Maybe even have a change and delete button, too. Just a couple of suggestions, that's all. Otherwise, it works great! Now I don't have to use muliple instances of thread title tags. I can be just like the big boys at vb.org! :) Great job, Nick!

:D

What did you think of the sight? I was working on something and it was messed up for a few minutes but all is well now. What about my idea? :) Also, I have updated the instructions for use the way I have it, if you are interested. :)

i think you should go ahead and attach those instructions and i will include them in the archive :)

your forums have some nice modifications...only, i personally would get rid of that mod column and move the drop down box underneath the description.

i wasn't actually able to look at that thread, as apparently only admins/mods/?? can view it...if you could do a quick introduction on another one i can take a look, but it's not necessary. :)

The instructions are attached below. I guess I don't understand about moving the drop down box under the description. What desciption and where do i move it? :)

Try this URL:

Thread Intro Test for Nick

what i mean is eliminating that column, and moving that code to underneath $forum[description] in the forumhome_level2_post

You mean putting the mod box UNDER the forum description? Wouldn't that look really wierd?

BTW: How is the file I attached? You like?

Ok, I see what you are saying. Any idea how to do it?

search the templates forum for how to remove the moderator column, then in forumhome_level2_post insert <br>$forum[moderators] after $forum[description]

and yes, i linked to your file in post #1 as an alternate if people are after what you wanted

I figured that out about the forum moderators just after I asked you about it. :) Check it out now. The moderator column is gone and the moderators are over where they should be. I have a few touch ups to do, but I'll get it.

If you want, I can send you the file to include in your program. Let me know. (Or, I suppose you can view it and copy it yourself if you wanted it. DOH!!!! on me). :)

Are you going to consider my idea of moving the intro info to the side or a box? Because if someone has a thread header that they already like and want to put it in the intro, it would be nice to have it there in front of them to copy or whatever, in case they didn't remember the exact name before they went into the intro editor. Does any of that make any sense to you? :) Unless you can pull out the default thread header into the editor if there isn't an intro in the thread already.

Nick,

Maybe you can answer this question. Either no one else seems to know or they just aren't willing to part with the info. What is the postbit_ignore and what does it do, or what is it used for?

postbit_ignore is what shows in place of the post if the poster is on the user's ignore list

your forumhome looks great now...:)...only one suggestion. in forumhome_level1_nopost, put <img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/space.gif" width="150" height="1"><br> above "Last Post", so that the widths of that column in all your tables match.

I just tried doing that and it made no difference in the width. Exactly where and how should I put it, maybe I missed something. I have wanted to do that all along but haven't been abler to find a way to make it work.

widen it to like 225 then :)

All within the same td statemant as last post or just before it?

within it

You are my hero! I have been looking for a way to do that forever now. Thank you very much, sir! Is that the only file I need to change it in? And, any other suggestions? (I'd apprecaiete hearing any you have).

i don't think there's anywhere else you'll need to do that... :)

i have no other suggestions; nice job!

Thanks! Do you use messenger?

Come on, Nick, all I have is MSN Messeneger. (Trillian actaully) :) Can't you get an account there, BUDDY??? (Is any of this working? :))

sorry; i have a thing against Microsoft :)

Mne and you both, That's why I use trillian. I could use your help with the quote box at the bottom of the moan page (it has a double kine under it). You really should get an account there though just to use Trillian if nothing else. :)

okay

New version 1.1.5.

Now you can update ALL threads' introductions at once.

I'd like to add time automatically and let mods add to the thread also
plus i'd like to get rid of the "change all" code

thanx if you can help ;)
