Ah, I see what you mean. I will look into it however off the top of my head it means either altering the threads table to add another column (ugly IMO) or adding another table with this info (much better and easier). It then means either selecting from that table or changing the SQL that pulls the posts to join and include this outside table.

The other thing of course would be that newpost.php would have to be tweaked to accomidate.

Its all doable... but I dont know when I would have the time to do it.

Just as a thought: could this do the trick? I just browsed through it and it looks like it adds a text field to a new thread. If thats the case, it should be super easy to simply use that as the text field your after.

Sorry it isnt as perfect of a solution. Let me know how you crack on with it.
