Thank You!!

[Afterburner]

the first isn't a bug because the lasttitle table in your database will create with the hack, thats mean earlier there aren´t any entrys

2. I will try to fix this

[Ajnabi]

is there a way to make this hack appear in the forum Discription?

[mojotim]

[Afterburner]

yes, you have to insert the:

$showlastpostingtitle

in the board description template

Im having problems. What template do I hack? in the instructions it says:

"forumhome_lastpostby"

what is this file? Where do I get it? Keep in mind Im a total idiot when it comes to this stuff

[Afterburner]

go to your ControlPanel
go to the Templates section and click edit
click on expand list in your choosen template
click on expand in Forum Home Page Templates
click on edit in forumhome_lastpostby

Thanx, I was able to figure out after posting that

But I had a major problem. When I got done with that part, I tried to enter my Control Panel. When I logged in, it showed me a very messed up version of my board, all graphics missing, default colors etc. I had to restore the index.php3 file from a backup I made before editing. I did everything from your instructions.txt. Were those updated with the new code that you repliied down below?

Btw, heres how I editied my template. Is it correct?

PHP Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" id="ltlink"><tr align="right">
        <td nowrap><smallfont>$forum[lastpostdate] <font color="{timecolor}">$forum[lastposttime]</font><br>
        by <a href="member.php3?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&find=lastposter&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><b>$forum[lastposter]</b></a><br><b>$showlastpostingtitle</b></smallfont></td>
        <td nowrap>&nbsp;<a href="showthread.php3?s=$session[sessionhash]&goto=lastpost&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><img src="{imagesfolder}/lastpost.gif" border="0" alt="Go to last post"></a></td>
