Cheap way to do it:
PHP CODE
Using this will add a value to $random. That value can be anywhere between the #1 threw the #5.
PHP Code:
$random = rand(1, 5);
Template Condition can be...
HTML Code:
<if condition="$random == '3'">
<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
<strong><a href="SPONSOR URL" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong>
<else />
<a href="SPONSOR URL" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>
</if>
<else />
<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong>
<else />
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>
</if>
</if>
That will make it a 1 & 5 chance that the value of $random will be equaled to 3. Maybe this can give you a tip in the right direction :ermm:
