add an if statement in the postbit_select

right before the whole code add this :

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, #)">

Then at the end add </if>

Where #= Your usergroup admin

I love having this mod, it is perfect for some of the forums on our site. After searching trough this thread, I didn't see any mention of the issue brought up by one of my members.

If your dispaly options are set to linear - newest first, then the cheif first post shows at the Bottom of the page. My first thought was "of course". But if you do the same setting on vb.org the first post still is at the top of the page.

Anyone else notice this and come up with a fix?

Don't know what I've done wrong but it just does not work. Any advice out there?

Nothing like I see in the screen shots appears on my forum.

Macindy · #**139** 07-09-2008, 02:45 PM

Always I use the quickedit function to change a article the postbit switches back from postbit_article to normal postbit-layout.

What can I do to solve this?

Nevets2329 · #**140** 07-09-2008, 04:21 PM

I won't nominate this hack, no answers are available and it just does not work.

It works for me BUT I agree, there are many issues and there has not been one reply. SO I guess I'll just hack it to work like I would like it to work on my forum.

I definitely will use caution before installing another one of his hacks

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