Couldn't get this to work on 3.5 Gold... Could you explain those changes more specific?

Yes the hack is kinda bugged for 3.5.0 Gold. Please update it asap.

This hack was written for 3.5 - The only issue seems to be soft-deleted threads, however I cannot reproduce the error :ermm:

For every instance of the following code that appears after the thread starter column alteration in your altered templates:

<td class="alt1">

change that to:

<td class="<if condition="$vboptions[showthreadstartercolumn]">alt2<else />alt1</if>">

And the same for alt2's to alt1 etc - You will need to fiddle with it a few times to get it precisely right for your site

Just installed this great hack! I like how it can be switched on and off via the ACP. And I never knew about debug mode, either.

You can try and override it with your own <div> or <span> tags if you want but the size is defined in the [high]thread_starter[/high] phrase

Its not very clear on where do u make these changes?

2)

Now goto your vBulletin Options screen
---------------------------

Create a new setting in the "Forum Display Options (forumdisplay)" screen.

Use the following information:

Varname - showthreadstartercolumn
Title - Show 'Thread Starter' column
Description - Turns the thread starter column on and off for forumdisplay.
Option Code - yesno
Default - 1
Display Order - *this setting should be automatically filled in by vBulletin - do not change it*
vBulletin Default - No

clubfmradio - i believe you make those changes in the phrase manager settings

works fine with 3.5Gold btw

Yeah, I can't figure that out either.

Make sure you've enabled debug mode to on otherwise you won't have the ability to create new settings via the admincp.
