Old Thread Notices by BOP5 · **Released**: 01-21-2011

Latest Version 1.2.

This mod will display a notice at the top of any thread that is over X number of days old. You can choose whether you want to start counting from the date of the first post or the date of the last post. You can also choose to disable it on sticky threads (good if you use stickies for official forum business), disable it in closed threads, disable it in specific forums, disable it for specific threads, or disable it for guests (New in Version 1.1).

The purpose is obviously to stop bumping of old threads unless the user has a good reason. It's also a good way to notify whoever is reading a thread that it is old so they don't think a bumped thread is recent and reply to it without checking.

There are two phrases and one template to give you total control on how the notice looks and what it says.

Full instructions are included in the .zip file.

This was tested on 4.0.8 and 4.1.4 and should work with all 4.0.x/4.1.x versions. It will NOT work in vB 3.x. There is a separate version for 3.x here.

Live Demo: http://www.juot.net/forums/showthread.php?t=47981 (VB 3.8 version)

Note: The rounded borders shown in the screenshots will not work in Internet Explorer, they will show as normal square borders in IE.

Is there any way to change the notice color? (It is a bit... odd)

BirdOPrey5 · #23 09-14-2011, 08:26 PM

Yes, you can edit the template: showthread_oldthreadnotice

You can change the colors, borders, font size, anything you want. You will need to know some basic HTML of course to customize.

I love you, really. I have 4 or 5 mods made by you. Congratulations and thanks for all.
