Yeah, that was how I wrote the instructions originally (to overwrite the entire line), and that's what gave you the problems that you had earlier. It was 100% because of that which made me try to figure out a better way to write the instructions.

Most of the rest of the file modifications are just additions, not modifications of existing code, but there is one part that goes into newthread.php that modifies what's already there, and this will interfere with another hack...I know this because I wrote the other hack, too! It's the one that gives you a different redirect message for if you post a non-poll thread or a poll thread. You kind of have to look at what both hacks want you to do if you want them both to work...or I guess I will post what I, personally, am using on my board to solve it, if anybody needs me to.

Speaking of polls, there is still one thing that I haven't tested with this hack yet, and that's what happens when you check both to make a thread a poll and a news item. I know something not right is going to happen, because both polls and news items involve redirecting you to a different page after the thread gets posted. Either it will take you to the poll setup screen and you'll have to create the news item manually, or it will take you to the news item setup screen and not only will there be no poll in that thread, but it might not be visible, either, because when you check that poll box, the thread isn't made visible until after you setup the poll. I still need to look at this issue, see what happens, and figure out what to do about it. In the meantime, I suggest that nobody try to create both a poll and news item thread at the same time.
