I would like it to have an option per forum to use it with all post in a thread...not just when starting a thread.

How to fix forumdisplay
Open Extra Threadfields - Forumdisplay/Threadbit -> Show Fields module
Find

<p class="threaddesc">

and replace to

<div class="threadmeta">

2 times.

You enter the forum id when creating a field.

That should already be fixed on the new patch as well!

i have the premium version,
how can i make the extra fields exclusive for certain usergroups?

Thanks

Nicely done. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with the mobile theme. Any chance this can be done without template edits? I think this works with hooks and apparently the mobile theme doesn't play nicely with this addon. (Don't blame you, a lot of inconsistency with mobile choices.) How about Apps like tapatalk? I'd love to be able to use it.

Confirmed - doesn't show in the mobile skin (can be fixed with a variable) but also doesn't show up on the entry side either. If this is a hook, this means no mobile, desktop only. Let us know if you can do this. I'd be interested.

I think it is a "flaw" on vb's mobile system itself, imho.

I used to use Dartho's theme but updating it regularly was an incredibly painful process. It was easier adapting vBulletin's beginning attempt at a mobile theme, which also was better at behind held by cookies and more usable on tablets. Still, there are challenges as you allude to.
