Our message board has been running since 2002 and we encourage users to search for previous threads before posting new requests for help.

As a result threads show up that have starting dates well in the past. With the current display of the thread list in the Forum Display, there is no information on when a thread was started. We would like to add the date the thread started just after the thread starter's name in the display.

I am having a remarkably difficult time finding this location in the templates and I don't really know how to modify the template to show the date information, or for that matter, I don't know where that date is in the forum dispaly data structures.

Could someone give me a pointer to where this information can be found. I found an ancient hack that did something similar to what I want, but it is archived and hidden now.

It's called the thread creation date and I've seen a couple of mods for it. Try searching on "creat*" in "all mods" "titles only" and you should find some.

Looking for this as well.

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