How easy is it to uninstall this hack? Besides reverting to the changed files, do I need to do anything else?

Did it not work for you? I had quite a few online today :D and it held up fine. It does increase page size (ouch bandwidth) but I figure it helps reduce bandwidth by having people not click on threads they normally would have. I know it stops me from having to click on a lot.

Revert the files and remove the "title" from the templates, if it needs to go.

i havent installed it yet, I have 419 users online right this second.... so reverting the php files will uninstall the hack? how about that database table?

Yea I had to check out your site :D I have 19 fewer on right now, but hit my record today. (Always seem to on Mondays)

I can't get the latest version of this hack! I have my own version installed since I wrote some of this code but... due to vBulletin's problem with cached attachments, I can't get the latest version. If you send it to me in email, webmaster@overgrow.com, or attach it here in a post, I can look at it and make sure there is nothing else to uninstall.

Did it not work for you? Did you see an increased load-- web or db server?

ps. I find the thread[firstpostid] to be a handy field to have.. i had it before this hack hehe.. i'd leave it, but that's just me

From someone with a similar size site, I can tell you the increased server load is non-existant. Once you add the 'firstpostid' field, there is a JOIN added on. I don't see a blip of an increase in load.

OK after looking over the new hack--

revert the PHP
revert the templates: searchresultbit_threadonly and forumdisplaybit
remove the firstpostid field from thread

When it installs, it does a mass update on the thread table so I would close down the site for a minute.

how about the page size after install? is it noticeably bigger?

Can you tell me what exact query to run to drop that field if I do go back? Thanks again
