Forum Display Enhancements - e-steki Featured threads 1.0.1

What does this do?
This hack lets mods/admins to choose some threads as featured, enter a description (if no description entered the first post will be used) and they will be displayed at forumdisplay, in the position that the admin selected. Refer to the Features section below for more information.

Features

Admin Features

1. Absolutely NO template modifications and you even get to control where the table will be placed in Forumdisplay with a simple setting!
2. Fully phrased.
3. Ability to set a cutoff limit, so that if the featured threads are more than X, the rest will not show.
4. Ability to specify whether the featured threads will be ordered by the date they were featured, their last post date or their creation date.
5. Ability to specify whether html, bbcode, [img] tags or smilies will be shown in the description (or the first post if no description has been entered).
6. When featuring/un-featuring a thread, the action is logged in the moderator log.
7. A nice, usable and extensive manual instead of an ugly readme.txt ;-)

End user / moderator Features

1. Moderators can enter a fully formatted description with bbcodes and everything (if allowed by the admin)
2. The table is collapsible, and if it has nothing to display it doesn't show.
3. Thread elements that are displayed: Thread icon, Title, Link to the thread, creation date and time, number of replies (clickable), thread poster.

Don't forget to Mark as Installed!
Support will be provided only for a few days after each release.
Installation instructions and a FAQ are in the manual.

I was looking for something like this to use on my front page (vbadvanced).
Would it be hard to adapt for my own use?

If you want something for your vba homepage why don't you use the built-in news module?

OK it was good and fine until i upgraded

In my forus when u post in the Parent forum the new thread button points to the sub forum and post the new thread there, disabling this hack solved the problem so i guesss this hack was the problem so i m uninstalling until i dont find the solution.

That's really weird, as my hack has nothing to do with the New thread button
Does anyone else have this problem?

I am having this problem. I have a forum with ID 1 and when you look at the new thread link, it has forum id 100 (which is hidden and not open for posts). When users click on new thread, it sends them to the subforum to make a post.

This problem was resolved after disabling the mod.

edit: This happens with all forums with subforums. If there are two subforums, then the new thread buttons creates a thread in the lowest subforum.
