Is there someway to change this script, so that the latest threads can be displayed on other pages?

[Xplorer4x4]

If you are running vBAdvanced there is no possibly way to get your post icons to show up in both. Trust me I tried all the solutiongs in this thread. Therefore iturned them off in vbadanced. Porblem fixed there.

I notice there is a small table next to the icons that is empty. For the other columns like Who Is Online there is a icon in this table which will be linked to www.yousite.com/forums/images/misc/whos_online.gif or in the cae of the birthdays table there is a calender icon. Would it be possible to align the thread icons into that table and still have them corespond to the post icon asigned to that thread?

Give it a shot and see. I am fairley confident that changes the query seeing as your changing $getthreads to $getposts and it is executing a query.

k ill give it a shot, thanks
