What I was talking about was the hack to make custom prefixes like "Important:" or "Sticky:".

I had done this one first, and then did the custom post prefex one. But you're editing the same section of forumdisplay.php, so when I changed forumdisplay, it made the preview first post stop working.

Then in your forumdisplay.php file find

$threads=$DB_site->query("
SELECT $dotuserid $votequery ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."
thread.threadid,thread.title,lastpost, forumid,pollid,open,replycount,postusername,postus erid,
lastposter,thread.dateline,views,thread.iconid,not es,thread.visible,sticky,votetotal,attach
FROM thread
".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'LEFT JOIN icon ON (icon.iconid = thread.iconid)','')."
$dotjoin
WHERE $threadids
ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder
");

and replace with

$threads=$DB_site->query("
SELECT $dotuserid $votequery ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."
thread.threadid,thread.title,lastpost, forumid,pollid,open,replycount,postusername,postus erid,
lastposter,thread.dateline,views,thread.iconid,not es,thread.visible,sticky,votetotal,attach,preview
FROM thread
".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'LEFT JOIN icon ON (icon.iconid = thread.iconid)','')."
$dotjoin

To have both, you just need to add ",customprefix" after "preview". Then you also have to do the same thing in newthread.php

I hope that's what you were asking
