[VB3 RC3] Bump thread and make thread older · **Released**: 01-18-2004

Bumping a thread is something you eventually need. A thread that has some days
old, it is in the second page of your forum or only a few positions below and you want
attention to be in it again. Posting makes the thread on top, but you don't want
to post in the thread.

Additionally I have added an option called "make thread older" or "debump". This makes
your thread one day older, making room for new threads in the top of the forumdisplay.
Why this? It is useful for closed threads that you don't want to be taking your
user's attention anymore, yet you don't want to delete them. Just send them to the
second page, it is the same effect as forgetting about them.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission

Once HTL1.1 is released I would make all my hacks HTL compatible. I just don't like having to edit an HTL and a TXT separately. Hacks are updated and new things are added.. after the fourth edit to the HTL and TXT I gave up on the HTL, since that is not enforced in the forums and the TXT is.

Confirmed with 3.0.1. Thanks.

Works great on 3.0.1 But one thing. On forumhome is there anyway you can have Last Post column actually show the thread that has been bumped or what ever thread is on top in the actual forum?

It still has the old cached thread still there. And if you click the username of the person in the last post by in the forumhome after bumping a thread you will be brought to the wrong user profile.

You will be brought to the user profile of the first poster of the thread you bumped.

So on the forum home it is showing the cached thread that use to be at the top. How can this be fixed. It is bother a lot of members. Please help. Thanks.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
