I would like to note that I absolutely love this mod, and have been using it for awhile now.

The article postbit is by far my favorite of the offered ones

Thanks for this. Helped out to keep it from confusing folks.

could someone tell me where to edit postbit_normal ?? i can find the others but i can't find where to edit postbit_normal , thanks!

MissKalunji · #**158** 07-24-2008, 03:26 PM

postbit_normal is your standard postbit_legacy or postbit depends on which one you use

Bug report: I'm using the postbit normal layout. When editing or edit-previewing the first post, the thread type menu does not retain the previously selected value (normal postbit in my case), but reverts to "postbit article" (the first choice in the list). Since the thread author doesn't expect the selection change to postbit article, he forgets to change the layout back to postbit normal, which makes the layout of that post inconsistent with other threads & posts.

Can you fix this bug? Also, can you provide an admin option so that the admin determines the postbit layout, not the thread author? Thanks.

Yeah, can the mod be enabled on certain usergroups only?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
