I Love it, thanks Kirby :)

nice will check it out soon

suggestion: if u use <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/exclamation.gif" then u need to upload the same image file for all your styles
better to use images/misc imo

Interesting. So does this check for the actual age of the thread (that's what it sounds like) or the date since the last reply?

The install instructions state:

In Template SHOWTHREAD
FIND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$attachmentoption

Cannot find $attachmentoption in the showthread template but it is listed in two other templates: Newreply and Newthread?

So is this a typo or am I missing something?

Laters

I would go with Newreply. ;)

sometimes Boofoon, you lead...

this hack is for answering old threads, not to make new ones...

lol

Duh! I meant Newreply. Is that better now?

LOL :) Thanks m8 but the instructions already say to place the code in there, but it also says`to place it in the showthread template.

But there is no $attachmentoption in showthread only in the newreply template.

EDIT: Damn I'm tired. Sorry for the stupid question.
