Hi Ross,

I looked at the source code of that link you gave us. You simply don't have the display set (show/hide).

Looks to me like you skipped the part of editing admin/functions.php (or maybe forgot to upload it, or maybe uploaded it to the wrong dir?).

Open admin/functions.php and Find:

	if ($post[dateline]>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]) {
		$post[foldericon]="<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/posticonnew.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"New Post\">";
	} else {
		$post[foldericon]="<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/posticon.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Old Post\">";
	}

REPLACE that with:

PHP Code:

// Contract Old Posts in Thread (v1.0)
    global $display, $HTTP_USER_AGENT;

    if ($post[dateline]>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]) {
        $post[foldericon]="<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/posticonnew.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"New Post\">";
        if (!$display) {
            $pe = "show";
            $ph = "none";
        }
    } else {
        $post[foldericon]="<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/posticon.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Old Post\">";
        if (!$display) {
            if ($bbuserinfo[hideposts]=="1") {
                $pe = "none";
                $ph = "show";
            } else {
                $pe = "show";
                $ph = "none";
            }    
        }
    }
    
    if ($display=="none") {
        $pe = "none";
        $ph = "show";
    } elseif ($display=="show") {
        $pe = "show";
        $ph = "none";
    }
    
    if (strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,"MSIE")) {
        eval("\$plusimg = \"".gettemplate("postbit_plusimg")."\";");
        eval("\$minusimg = \"".gettemplate("postbit_minusimg")."\";"); 
    } else {
        $plusimg = "";
        $minusimg = "";
    }
// Contract Old Posts in Thread (v1.0) 


Let us know if it worked out.

Cheers,
