We approve every thread and reply. Unapproved threads are shown on the table. Uapproved replies are not shown but threads.

Any ideas how to make the code CSS and XHTML compliant?

This is a great HACK. Congratulations man!

I?d like to know if you could add an option to only SHOW the LATEST POST of a thread and not all LATESTs POSTS of that thread.

In others words:
============

Right now, your HACK works in this way:

THREAD 1
blablabla 3

THREAD 2
blablabla 1

THREAD 1
blablabla 2

THREAD 1
blablabla 1

As you can see, with your HACK we see all the 3 last post about the same THREAD. I?d like to know if it is possible to add an option that allowed us to show only the last POST about the THREAD...

Using the example above, i?d like to have something like this:

THREAD 1
blablabla 3

THREAD 2
blablabla 1

MANY REASON FOR THIS: the users of my forum (www.mtsp.com.br/forum) want to have a look in all 10 latest THREADs that something was posted lastly.

Sometimes we found something like this;

LATEST 10 POSTS:

THREAD 1
blablala 10

THREAD 1
blablala 9

THREAD 1
blablala 8

THREAD 1
blablala 7

THREAD 1
blablala 6

THREAD 1
blablala 5

THREAD 1
blablala 4

THREAD 1
blablala 3

THREAD 1
blablala 2

THREAD 1
blablala 1

Notice that all this posts are related to the same thread.... This totally HIDES the others threads...

I think you understand...

Again, congratulations for this hack.

Best regards!

Still no way to make this XHTML/CSS compliant???

impuLsive · #**137** 09-15-2007, 07:26 PM

Anyway to get a date and time on it? And how to prevent double threads from appearing...I dont need the same thread shown 5 times because of 5 new replies. Would be nice if it just edited the name, and thats it.
