Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. You may have a thread that has tens or hundreds of pages, and this will allow you to see the original post on all pages, much like you see here on vB.org in the modification threads.

Q. How do I use the custom template?

A. Note: Make sure you know what you are doing if you attempt this!
This may be a bit tricky for some users.

You can copy what ever template you are using, ( postbit or postbit_legacy ) into the template, ozzmodz_firstpost_display_postbit.
Now once you have done that, you can change the styling of the post, by adding css to the elements.
For example, if you want the first post to have a different background, when it is on any other page except for the first page, you can look for this in the template,

<div class="postbody">

and change it to this,

<div class="postbody" style="background: darkgrey;">

That will give the first post a dark grey background on any pages other than the first page.

Excellent mod and it's nice idea to include option for choosing which usergroups see first post on every page, so it doesn't creates problem with SEO. :up:
