WSB - Adding the last poster is pretty simple. Just open your myvbindex file and look for:

PHP Code:

$threads=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,title,replycount,postusername,postuserid,dateline,views".iif($showthreadicon,   ',thread.iconid','')." FROM thread WHERE open='1' AND open<>10 $iforumperms ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxlatethreads"); 


Replace that with:

PHP Code:

$threads=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,title,replycount,postusername,postuserid,dateline,views".iif($showthreadicon,   ',thread.iconid','').",lastposter FROM thread WHERE open='1' AND open<>10 $iforumperms ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxlatethreads"); 


Then you would add this code in your index_threadbit template where you want the last poster's name to appear:

<a href="$bburl/member.php?action=getinfo&find=lastposter&threadid =$thread[threadid]">$thread[lastposter]</a>


Putting the first XX characters of the post would require a bit of hacking and some database changes. I may be able to tell you how to do that a little later.
