Hi. It works perfect in IE but not in FireFox...

In FF it shows "By" but it´s not showing "Start Date":

Start Date: - By: Fulano

Any idea?

This can be done easily without queries. the threadbit_display hook already has access to $thread['dateline']. Just run it through vbdate and assign it to a template variable.

i cant find my templates to threadbit_display. My threadbit is:

threadbit
threadbit_announcement
threadbit_deleted
threadbit_lastvisit
threadbit_pagelink

where is the threadbit_display? Can you show me this. i use 3.6.8 version.

threadbit_display is the plugin hook. The template is threadbit

1) Create a plugin against the threadbit_display hook containing the following code:
$thread['fdate'] = date('M nS, Y', $thread['dateline']);

2) Add the text to the threadbit template in the appropriate place. Something like:
Started by $thread[postusername] on $thread[fdate]

Tnx m8 for the mod but to be honest this is way to much serverload for us so this isn't an option.

So I added some lines in 1 file and added the $ in threadbit and done

But tnx again

Best, Todecay!
