Problem.

All my old posts are working fine.

But NEW posts made into the specific forum all have an invisible first post??

The post IS still in the database, because you see it at the bottom of the page when you reply...

Any ideas??

If I remember rightly there's two VERY similar lines in functions.php, one has a . (dot), one doesn't. You're editing the line without a dot. So it's trying to call the script in an area it can't. You have to edit the EXACT line the hack readme tells you to.

(from memory) you edited function getpostbit($post, the readme says to edit function .getpostbit($post - notice a dot? :)

Hmm...! It seems that only the user I've setup in coranto to post news is able to post threads correctly. This is fine and I'll create a sub forum for users to post their news. :)

Well, I can't remember what I edited but no errors since so I'll leave it alone until one pops up. I still want to get rid of other stuff that looks like the forums (Forum Jump, Rate Thread, Author text, New Thread/Post Reply and Forum Rules)!

Yuck... Firefly it's still doing this to me:

Click contract all.

Are you sure you created a new postbit_first template?

Hmm... it seems to be working now that people have replied...

I guess there is no hope to get the other "Forum" parts (as described in an earlier post) removed from this first page... :(

Can't you just edit the template to remove whatever you don't want?
