[The Piper]

I was trying to do as SirSteve suggested, to remove the Author/Thread/New Thread/Post Reply bit in the beginning of the post, and to have it only after the first post. So, I thought I could modify showthread.php like this:

Original Code:

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("showthread")."\");");

Modified Code:

if ($counter==1 and $pagenumber==1 and ($thread['forumid']==6 or $thread['forumid']==7 or $thread['forumid']==8 or $thread['forumid']==4)) {
  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("showthread_first")."\");");
} else {
  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("showthread")."\");");
}

Then I created a template called showthread_first which did not have that table cell with such things as author, thread, etc.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I'm a newbie in PHP, but that seemed to have been a good solution for what I was trying to achieve. I'd appreciate any input on this...

Thanks a lot!
