vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Displaying thread description on main forum page under "posted by"?

Fusion2 · #1 12-22-2009, 11:49 PM

I am converting my old vBulletin 3.6 Forum to vBulletin 4 Suite. And, I need help displaying the thread preview underneath the author info on the main list of threads.

Attached is a screen print of my current website, to show you what i mean. Notice how for each post it shows the thread title, Written By field, and then a short preview of the thread without having to hover or click the thread link.

I am trying to do this with vBulletin 4.0. But, the code appears to be entirely different.

Below is a forum thread from 2006, where someone helped a group of us with what changes to make to this code. Could someone help me with this? Im sure others will benefit from this too.
