Is having the hack description on every page really a feature?

But that's likely to cause the same "problem" that was seen before (although I think I was here during the old way and don't remember hearing people ask where the files were.)

If you ask me, if they can't find the files on the first page, they shouldn't be installing these hacks. Why should vb.org have to cater to the lowest common denominator at the expense of others?

I don't like it but I can see it's value.

I guess the solution would be to fix the "collapse" save feature and use 2 different "collapse" values. eg. 'hackinfos', 'hackinfos2' One for the first page (first postbit) and the other for the subsequent pages.

And yup, the collapse is broken.

How many characters are visible in the Titlebar ?

your titlebar can hold the entire post description / update info ?

If you just want to see what the topic was about, then all you need is the title bar!
