First post on every page of thread.

I had a use for it, so I thought I would share it.

Requires no file edits (Thanks Kirby!).
Adds no quarys when viewing threads

This is something like here on vbulletin.org , it allows you to select forums where the first post of the thread is shown thru out the thread.

It uses stock template looks now , if someone wishes to make a template and share it feel free.

I will offer support as I can.

Ps. If you install this hack please click the install :nervous:

Templates for first post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=124
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=161

Here is the template and the icon on the left. Just copy and paste the text into the firstpost template and upload firstpost.gif to images directory

nice work on the hack

how hard would it be to pull other info into the postbit from a custom table im asking because would like to make something similar to the hack system here as the system i made for 3.0.7 doesnt work in the same way with the new code.

Thanx.

I would have to see the table to answer how to.
