Well, I removed the strpos bit on my installation because I want it to sort by open/closed first regardless of secondary sort order. :)

If you can make it work with subforums automatically, it would be nice. But to make it flexible (e.g. enable subforum inheritance in some forums but not others) you'll need to make a bitfield-based forum setting... :)

Very, very usefull mod. Just installed it and works like a charm!

ok i have a question i have installed this hack but i dont see how it works i might be blind but if you can tell me how would be great ive installed it etc i ahve a forum for support ok now what? im at a losss

im runing vb 3.6.2

Made template edits as instructed but do not get the open /Closed in the forum I created for suport. Am I missing something in the options as I only have a field for entering the forum ID which I did. And I edited the correct template for the style I am using. Running 3.6.4

Sorry about the delayed update... been super busy.

krazycivik / sinisterpain, are you still having troubles?

No, I am fine thanks

Any news on the possibility of the "-Button to open/close thread" addition that was mentioned in the initial post?

Thanks again for an awesome hack!!

It should be released within a day or so. :)

Sounds great to me!!

Thanks again!

(lol - I'm AJ - you can't be AJ)... :)

I'll upload it in a few hours...

I won't update the original post with it though, because the changes haven't been thoroughly tested. I'll be out of town for a few days afterwards, so after a good trial run and some possible fixes I will release it officially.
