This shows firstpost on everypage publicly, but the option to have it shown is only for Moderator or above. I just don't want to make the hack more complicate but if you want, just request here at once I'll make an add-on for this hack serve those things you want.

Ok, I just read over again what the mod does and it's fine the way it is. HOWEVER, if it's not too much to ask...I'd like it if you could make an add-on that either automatically did it for every thread in a specific subforum, or one that had a preset and allowed the thread-starters in that forum to do it themselves.

The mod is fine the way it is, but those would be added benefits.

Right.
The same thing here Please

How do i get this to look like vbulletin.orgs... where its has custom bold text with alternate table colors for custom defined text. The one used here is exactly what i want.

I have Attached a snapshot of what I am talking about.

vB.org may or maynot have the same one as I posted but I am SURE you can do that by editting the postbit_firstpost template. You may ask one of the staff to get those modification.

[lancepoint]

well im asking here.. is there a specific place i should ask or just repost it as a request?

[AnhTuanCool]

Site Feedback forum, you might want to repost it in there.

[lancepoint]
