For the inevitable, what do you mean? What does this do?

Vague? One would think that anyone who uses vB would know instinctively what this does...all Announcements on vBulletin.com are made in this fashion - One announcement thread, and another to discuss it.

6 install's ..... and evryone succesed?
hm.....
Just try to install on localhost board. Redo all nesasery operations 3 times and.... Nothing happend

. Only admincp options avable (all nessesary option's cheked there), but when start a new thread, no one chekbox added to new thread.

My steps:
1. install this extension
2. go to http://localhost/forum/admincp/forum.php?do=edit&f=1. Select second forum (see pic1.gif)
3. go directly to http://localhost/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1 and start new thread.

Give the usergroup rights to create a discussion thread and then you can see the box when creating a newthread

How can I set a variable in the title to be stripped by this hack?

At the moment all of my announcements at pre-fixed [Announcement]. So when the auto thread is created I get [Discussion] [Announcement] Topic Name.

Is there a way to strip [Announcement] out without having to edit the thread title each time?

Also, how do I have a link auto created in the discussion thread linking back to the announcement thread?

But still another inspired idea.

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