Alternate First Post

[Digital Jedi]

If I might ask an additional question related to this, I thought I was being pretty smart here, but apparently, reality is determined to prevent that from ever happening.

What I was trying to do was change the first post in the thread using this plugin, then I made the forum I was using it in use a child style. I pasted in the postbit code into postbit_legacy of the child style, and set the plugin to include that forum. The intention, was to keep the rest of my forum in postbit_legacy, have the specific forum use the postbit layout AND alter the first post of threads in that forum.

Well, it works. Problem is, I get one of those dreaded repetative errors at the top of the page. Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in forum/path/forums/includes/class_postbit.php(296) : eval()'d code on line 224.

I've managed to use the plugin several times with no problems and with different postbit designs. Is the child style my problem now?

Maybe there's was a simpler way to go about what I was trying?


EDIT: And if I might add, the posts look kind of funky. The content is off center.
