can this be done with hooks (postbit escape)

Thats a good idea KirbeDE. I had been treating the first post like the poll, but because of your suggestion I decided to treat the first post just like any other post, except I created a new class, and using this hook:

PHP Code:

        ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('showthread_postbit_create')) ? eval($hook) : false;

        $postbit_obj =& $postbit_factory->fetch_postbit($fetchtype);
        if ($fetchtype == 'post')
        {
            $postbit_obj->highlight =& $replacewords;
        }
        $postbit_obj->cachable = $post_cachable; 


I have made it so it calls vB_Postbit_MyClass. That did require some code editing to create the class, but its something that is very easy and only requires one edit.

Maybe I'll suggest they make a hook at this location:

PHP Code:

    function &fetch_postbit($postbit_type)
    {
        switch ($postbit_type)
        {
            case 'post':
                $out =& new vB_Postbit_Post();
                if ($this->registry->options['legacypostbit'])
                {
                    $out->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
                }
                break; 


It seems like they could handle it better than throwing an error on 'default' too.

Thanks for your help, everyone. And, if anyone gets 'continue' or 'return;' to work... I would love that as well.
