Set it's visible property to zero ? (I can't remember if they have one, and cannot check from where I am).

well when grabbing the posts for the thread tell it in the where query not to grab the first post. the first post id is defined in the thread table;)

Perhaps if you elaborated - do you mean not show it for all topics dynamically, for just one topic, or just hide all old first posts ?.

So heres my theroy. When a user clicks on the thread it will open the showthread.php file so im using this query.

$post['postid'] variable is the id of the first post.
$foruminfo['killfirstpost'] == 1 is picking which forum to do this at.

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($post['visible'] == 1 AND $foruminfo['killfirstpost']==1)

{

        $DB_site->shutdown_query("

                UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post

                SET visible = '0'

                WHERE postid = '". $post['postid']."')

        ");



}

But its not working and i don't want to have to run a update query everytime showthread opens in that forum.

The answer depends on what you are trying to achieve and why.

I told you want i'm trying to achive. I'm trying to stop the first post from showing up on the forums that i select. Why isn't really relevant. I'll figure it out...

I figured it out, what i did it add the query when a user makes a new thread and i made a quick script to update all firstpost ids in my forum to set it to 0. Thanks Paul M, didn't know there was a visable row in the post table. I was just getting fustruated at the code, didn't mean to sound rude.
