UPDATE thread SET showfirstpost = 1

[Blindchild02]

and i know i followed the hack correctly :\

EDIT: wait. on the first page its the old vb2 posbit (which is default) and on the 2nd page it shows up how i want it, the new vb3 one....

how do i make it so that the vb3 postbit is on every page?

[Sulaiti]

fix :nervous:

in showthread.php
find:

PHP Code:

if ($post['isdeleted']) 
        { 
            $template = 'postbit_deleted'; 
        } 


underneath that add:

PHP Code:

else if($post['postid']==$threadinfo['firstpostid']) 
        { 
            $template ='postbit_firstpost'; 
        }
