I like this mod. :)

I've installed it but I'm not using it just yet because I'm wondering if there us a way to restrict the amount of text characters that show up. If the first post of the featured thread is a page long, it kinda kills the whole forum. Can the text be limited to a few hundred characters, or just the thread titles shown?

Thanks.

use thread description - simply copy the part of the thread you want listed in the "featured" section. You can even add a "Continued..." at the bottom to let people know that there is more to read.

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think of that.

I'll give it a go :)

EDIT:

That solved it. TY!!

installed & thank you

Good hack. But it would be great if the featured thread will automatically be un-featured after a given date/time.

Random featured threads on selected forums is also a good option.

Great hack. Works with 3.6.5.

I installed this yesterday on 3.6.8. When I checked the forum this morning, I realized that the "New Thread" button is creating threads for the wrong forum category. Strange!

I disabled this mod and the problem is fixed. Very strange. Not a big deal, but I just wanted this issue documented.

I had the same problem as stated above. It seems to bo when there is a subforum. It changes the forum id on the 'New Thread' Button to one of the subforum rather than of the forum your in (hope that makes sense).

been looking for one of these.

Heya,

Just wanted to chime in that yes, I did experience the same problem with my NEW THREAD button in the main forum causing a new thread to be created in the last subforum that is listed rather than in the main forum.

I found the solution after I came across this thread, which is from another person who was experiencing the same problem.

This is such a cool add-on, but this bug is a deal-breaker at the moment. I'm looking forward to an update :)
