Change The Look Of First Post

[NonCompare]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to change the look of only the first post(the starting thread) on showthread.php. I haven't found a solution on how to do this on the postbit template.

Simply speaking, the start thread will have different design(for simple example, just change the color of the thead) while all the replies will be the same.

Thanks in advance!

OK I got it already but I still have a problem. I want the toolbar (thread tools, rate thread, etc) to be placed after the first post, that is, in between the start thread and the replies.

My initial move was to put the template(toolbar and the post reply/closed image - originally from SHOWTHREAD) to postbit and just make a conditional there that it will be place before #2 post. However, the POST REPLY/THREAD CLOSED buttons did not work as it is to be because it can't get the proper threadid of the thread.

How to solve this one? Or is there any alternative so that I can put the toolbar between the first post and the replies?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
