Post Icons as Drop Down Menus
 

Using Post Icons as an as a means of sorting threads has become quite
popular on many sites, but after the first 30 or so things start to
look quite cluttered. This hack changes the drop down menu system
from using radio input buttons (the <input> tag) to using a drop down
select system (the <select> and <options> tag)

This was tested under RC4. As far as I know it's behaving itself.

Edit: The attatchment here is for the Release Candidate versions. It won't work with VB Gold. However, there is a version that works with gold further down in this thread.

A similar hack was released last week but it puts the icons into the dropdown list too.

Cool beans. Well, for bandwidth reasons I personally don't want to display the icons in the drop down - and I'm sure a couple of other folks may feel the same.

I'm still proud of myself - I did a hack all by myself :banana:

Excellent job! And, yes, you did good for your first hack. Keep up the great work! ;)

Seems it's nothing new...

good :)

Question - several of my board members would like to be able to preview all available post icons. How would I go about building such a preview page (I'm pretty sure it would be similar to show all smilies)

Nevermind, figured it out. Not that hard really.

doesnt work on gold.

Installing to vbgold is acutally a bit easier. Here are the updated instructions for vb 3.0.0 gold
