[Critical] What did I do wrong?

I didn't make the skin, it is from extremepixels...

Would you be able to tell me how you rectified your problem?

I had the same problem. It has to do with the second template edit to the threadbit template.

I changed it to this instead:

<!-- vbPlaza start -->
			<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
				<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]" <if condition="$thread['titlestyle']">style="$thread[titlestyle]"</if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong>
			</if>
<!-- vbPlaza end -->

It fixed all but the BOLD unread topics.

The read topics are single and the bold ones are as is on the screenshot, wtf?

[Kirk Y]

I just realized why this is happening. There are two <if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> -- we both replaced the first one The one that needs to be replaced is the 2nd one, it has an <else /> in it.

[Hiro]

I just removed the whole thing, what will happen now ive removed it?

[Kirk Y]

Removed what? The entire template? Then... the whole strip of Thread, Author, etc would be gone.

[Hiro]

Just the part that made it double.

The vbPlaza Start to End

You're supposed to replace this:

<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>

With this:

<!-- vbPlaza start -->
			<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
				<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]" <if condition="$thread['titlestyle']">style="$thread[titlestyle]"</if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong>
			<else />
				<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]" <if condition="$thread['titlestyle']">style="$thread[titlestyle]"</if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a>
			</if>
<!-- vbPlaza end -->

Only you didn't find the right piece of code to be replaced -- you replaced the code above that in the threadbit template:

<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a></if>

Suffice it to say, just redo the template edits for your threadbit template and look carefully at what you're supposed to find.
