You can edit the options under the settings, [OzzModz] First Post Display Settings

Complete Feature List

• Option to disable the mod completely.
• Option to choose which forums, will show the first post on all pages.

• Option to use the default postbit template, or use a custom one, which will allow you to add different styling to the elements.
• Option to select which usergroups this mod will affect.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. You may have a thread that has tens or hundreds of pages, and this will allow you to see the original post on all pages, much like you see here on vB.org in the modification threads.

Q. How do I use the custom template?

A. Note: Make sure you know what you are doing if you attempt this!
This may be a bit tricky for some users.

You can copy what ever template you are using, ( postbit or postbit_legacy ) into the template, ozzmodz_firstpost_display_postbit.
Now once you have done that, you can change the styling of the post, by adding css to the elements.
For example, if you want the first post to have a different background, when it is on any other page except for the first page, you can look for this in the template,

<div class="postbody">

and change it to this,

<div class="postbody" style="background: darkgrey;">

That will give the first post a dark grey background on any pages other than the first page.

//sorry my english

Not really sure, I have not looked into that at all.

But I doubt it hurts, as on this site, all the mod threads and style threads have the first post on all pages.

Because vbulletin use title for description, not use post content. But, they different, and google like that!

I just installed. I have the forums set that I want it to show in, along with the appropriate user groups to be able to view, and none of the existing threads are showing first post.

Not sure why, if you pm me a admin account, I can try and troubleshoot it on your site.

Thank you for the reply. The powers that be (above me) would not like me issuing temp admin account, unfortunately.

Our site uses postbit legacy. Does that make a difference?
