[high]UPDATE[/high]
After the evaluation made by FireFly and PPN, we all came to the conclusion that this hack is reliable ONLY if it's used on medium or small boards. Busy boards SHOULD install PPN's hack.
I requested to have this hack removed from the database, but I guess FireFly is right. The code is still good and it will bring your board to it's knees only if you have alot of forums and ALOT of members browsing to them.

thanks looks a nice hack

]installed... working damn nice *g* 5 stars hack :D

I thought PPN already did this?

you are correct. however, PPN's version require to alter a table. this code is a different aproach, that eliminates the need to mod the database. for people who only want to edit 2 files with 2 small code segments.

Oh, I see. I'll install this one instead then.

So, it is still the same hack. Couldn't you use the thread he started and gave it as a add-on or alternative?

true. any of the admins or mods could move this thread and apendice it to PPN's thread? thanks.

I'll keep this hack in its own thread for now, there are many hacks that do this (each in its own way).

Anyway, was this tested in a large board? I don't like the sound of joining a big thread table in that query.
