Just to note, I've noticed a small typo with the template edits:
Code:
<label for="[high]cb_forepost[/high]"><input type="checkbox" name="forcepost" value="1" id="cb_forcepost" />$vbphrase[thread_age_accepted]</label>

Couple questions.

Hi sorry if this has been answered, but on my forum it says

This Thread is more than 34 days old

This changes depending on how old the thread is apposed to the age limit I have set in the vbpanel.

Is there a way to change it so it always says old then 30 days (my value set)?

Many thanks

On both of your template edits, replace this:
HTML Code:
<phrase 1="$threaddays">
With:
HTML Code:
<phrase 1="$vboptions[oldthrdthres]">
Save them both, and you're done.
