Kyle,
Thank you for the wonderful input
I wouldn't say I'm almost there as far as doing it myself, however. :bandit:
Xenon got the ball rolling with this stuff:

if ($bbuserinfo[postorder]==0) { ...

and g-force fixed my lame guess at a query! All I did was guess at the template changes to add...and what you just told me has given me the courage to write it all out and install it.
And I don't mind writing it out and pming it to anyone who wants to post it in the beta forum.
I really think some people may find it useful other then us.
What you said about the numbering posts hack. I was wondering how this would effect that hack earlier here . Oh duh! I just saw your reply in that thread. Thanks again
