Also when you select edit thread from the admin options at the bottom of the thread you can edit the description.

Turning it on and off?
Are you talking a board wide basis or per forum?

I still cant get it to work ...

When i hack the files, some of the stuff that should be there isnt :o

Could this be from other hacks? Also alot of spacing is generated in teh text file ..as in spacing that I dont think should be there, that might cause a problem right?

Are you running 2.2.5?
I done this in 2.2.6 but there was no really drastic changes between the two versions. You need to try simply uninstalling this hack and doing it manually from the text file in post 4.
The only thing you wont need to do is run the database query.

Ok I did it ...

But one thing, when you edit it, the box for the subject aint showing, whicn meand only moderators and admins can edit the subject...which aint that bad but yeah, does work for me now.

It took alot of playing around to get it working but it works now and I'm never using vbhacker again :p

It kinda stuffed things up.

BTW Velocd, what font are you using for your forums?

Well users can't edit thread title so they shouldn't be able to edit thread description.

Before anyone says they can edit the thread title, it is only within a certain amount of time that they can do this after they haved posted the thread.

ok :)

do you know what font hes using? it looks nice and soft edged. I want it!

Its a very rare, highly sophisticated, and technologically advance font known as…arial.

it was done in a different way. it shows the first 100chars of the first post, as a preview. i implement it on my board as a text description, not preview.
