See This Thread at vBulletin.com. Basically, I have removed the Title field from the newreply box so that when replying to a thread users have no option to add a title to their post. Then, using the conditional you gave me, I've removed the message icon and title are of all posts after the first to clean up the postbit. Check it out in any Thread at the Admin Zone and let me know what you think.
With this conditional, you don't have to remove the title field from the newreply box. I haven't removed it and it works like it should. It just won't show anything for that other than the first post. I only did this conditional after my wife decided she doesn't like to use icons when she makes a thread and all of the threads she made looked wierd in the fourms lastpostby without them. And I didn't want them on any other messages than the first one in the thread.

I think removing the field from that template would eliminate users from trying to find their title if they typed a custom one (which some people actually take the time to do. ^_^)... but I see where you're coming from.

Looks exactly like my board, only different.
Do I get some special prize over to the Admin Zone now?

That makes sense. Still, some members use the title field as their first sentence and then continue with the rest of the post in the message field. in which case their posts will be missing a sentence which could be confusing. Removing the Title field altogether prevents this from happening.

LOL I've never had a user do that for a first part of a sentence. I would think they are missing something somewhere if they are doing that.
I kept it in in case I want to add a title to a message somewhere in the thread for whatever reason. I like having the option in case I would ever need it. Maybe like a contest to see who can find where I posted what.
