Thread of the day · **Released**: 02-06-2004

With this hack you can select a thread of the day

The thread of the day is a thread randomly picked from all threads STARTED
the day before. Then the thread of the day appears at your forumhome.

You can customize different options in the threadoftheday.php file, for the people that installed my member of the day hack this one is very similar, but it selects a thread instead of a member to show at the forum home.

*Update* For showing always the thread with most replies instead of a random thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=14

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

Anyway also to make the horizontal size match so it takes up less space, and match with the default forum styles. Excellent hack just not keen on the size.

@Kentaurus: Your hack is not displaying selectable avatars (offered by the board), just those that have been uploaded by members.

It tries to load an image in that case but fails to do so. Also, if no avatar is selected, the hack tries to retrieve an image and fails to do so. Do you have a fix for this?

could we please have a vs. where we could input the thread id# and have the admin choose the thread of the day?

^yeah what he said..even though the original poster said "You can choose thread of the day" ..my understanding is that you can't??? you might wanna change those words if this is just a random generator...

but i'd really like to be able to choose which thread is thread of the day.

ok did some more digging and realized that users who have uploaded there own avatars show on the thread of the day however if they r using one of the standard avatars I give them then it does not show the avatar

Does this take into consideration usergroup permissions?
