is it possible to have the article views work without the "always show first post" option?

[Vtec44]

you can replace your postbit template with the article template.

Thanks for the hack A couple comments.

You defined the "chiefpost" column as INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED, but it is being used a flag. Since a field that big is not needed, It should be tinyint, or char(1). Same for ttype.

why are you using "global $globaltemplates;" in your cache_templates plugin? It shouldn't be necessary

Other than that, your hack is very nicely coded Thanks for sharing

Any help to get this working as it should?

I am very interested in keeping the first post at the top of the thread. My question is what are the various thread types? And will anyone other then the mod/admin have the ability to change it? I don't want to change how our threads are viewed except for the first post showing on all pages.

Thanks!
