Hi all, i have vbullettin 4.01 and i would like to sort threads by the date of the first post instead of the date of the last post made in that thread.
This could be useful for a forum in which you post news etc where you want the latest news to stay on top.
Can you help me out please? i ve not seen any mod or hack doing that.
Thank you.

This is a per-user option. Users can view threads any way they like. Normally, your newest news would be on top.

But normally you wouldn't post news to a thread; rather, to a forum as a separate thread, so users could then discuss it.

If you want anything to 'stay' on top, sticky it.

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