Just so you know, I added a newly purchased style and tried using this hack, same exact thing happened, so I am now positive that it is not because of any mistakes on my part.

No one else has had any problems with this hack that wasn't due to a mistake on their part during installation.

If you're running vB 3.0.3, there is no reason why this hack shouldn't work. As I said earlier, I'm willing to help you troubleshoot it - but if you don't want to go through the trouble, that's your choice.

If you change your mind, let me know. :)

Installed on 3.0.3 with no problems over here. Thanks SOOO much for this!

You're welcome! I'm glad you like it. :)

Hi Ocean, thank you for this :)
Just 1 question: when clicking on Creation Date at top of the column, how can I get the dates sorted "most recent first" instead of "oldest first" ?
Thanks,
Federico

That's a standard vB interface function, Federico. Clicking "Creation Date" sets that as the active column that the table is being sorted by. However, if you wish to reverse the ascending/descending order, just click on the little arrow-button next to the active column.

:)

Just want to say... Very nice job with this, looks sweet!

I have a question.. I run an auction site.. So when my users post something, they have to post the Creation date/Time in the title... Is there anyway to get it to show the creation time as well? This would help out sooooooo very much :o.

Thanks :D And very nice job with this.

For the purposes of a standard board - most people wouldn't want to show the time, only the date.

But I do understand your reasons for wanting that. I'll look into putting it in as an option for the next version.

Ordinarily, I would just churn it right out - but December is a busy and hectic month for many - so I can't make any promises. :)

Ocean - Grreat Hack! how do I make this user selectable in the user cp? I want memebers to be able to select this as thread display mode option. Like: Creation Date - Oldest First, Creation Date - Newest First. I recently switched to VBulletin from phpbb and this was an option our memebrs had, and it turns out, many of them used it and would like it back. Thanks for your help!

Hi!

First of all, the Thread Display Mode option in the UserCP that you refer to is not for viewing a list of Threads, but for viewing the posts within a Thread.

Controlling how the list of Threads is displayed is done at the bottom of the ForumDisplay screen. Under "Sorted By", you'll see "Date of Creation" listed as one of the options. That should do what you're looking for. :)
