F.A.Q
Q. How do i get extra fields to show in the "edit post" page?
A. This is only available in the premium version.

Q. If i do not want the fields to be shown automatically, can i do it manually?
A. You can manually show fields in threads or posts by using $thread[fieldx] in the postbit or showthread template. Replace x with the ID of the field you want. To find the ID of the field go to admincp >> Extra Threadfields >> Extra Fields Manager, and hover over a field. The number after fieldid = will be the id of your field.

Q. I updated all of the options, i installed it perfectly, i did all edits, and still the options are not showing when i go to add a new thread. What do i do?
A. It is believed that you have a hack interfering with this one. Take away the edit that you did for putting $extrathreadfields inside the newthread template, and do this instead:

Search for:

        <!-- / subject field -->

Add below:

        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">$extrathreadfields</table>

Enjoy the hack.

Is it possible to have a set of input fields for New Thread and then a different set of input fields for Post Reply? I guess something along the lines of Sitepoint Marketplace where you can post a price and other details in the initial post, but then anyone that replies can only make a comment.

[Brycestro]

can the developer of this give an update on how this is progressing in terms of the fixes people have requested here? Sounds like a great hack that I'm wanting to buy but needs a few loose ends fixed up before going into production by the looks.
