If I have missed anything please let me know. I have worked on this off an on today with the power going going out every so often becuase of the storms we have had today.

If you are upgrading use the v1.0 installer and undo the editpost.php file edit. Then just load the new xml file.

There will be a new version that will be a full plugin possible later today. If I get the needed time to make the change. Plus I will release it as a product. :)

If you use this hack please click install.

clicks install, now where is my support? ;)

I dont wanna install this because you have to edit files <_< sry :-/

Right here tony. ;)

I tried hard to avoid file edits. The two edits that exist are very small. One is a addition to a query and the other is there becuase there was no plugin in the small space of code where the new code had to go.

ok well I am sure you will find a way to do it :) Once you do I will click the install button :)

there is no way to do it. We cant edit the theadlist query without hacking the file.

Anybody who has downloaded please redownload. I forgot to put the templates edits into the install file.

Error....

installed, but it dont show up on the thread list, but the boxs for adding them show up on the new topic and edit screens and the information is saved.

so one of us have missed something to get them to show on the thread list

run the following query from your admin cp:
------

ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD `threaddesc` VARCHAR( 125 ) NOT NULL ;
