Remove Last Post Time in ForumHome · **Released**: 06-17-2007

Description: I find the default latest thread display quite crowded. Do people really need to know when the last post was made? I think not. Therefore this modification is aimed to get rid of it and effectively uncrowd it. (See Before and After Pictures for more info)

Instructions:
1) Find

Code:

	<div<if condition="is_browser('ie', 6)"> style="float:$stylevar[left]"</if>>
		<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&amp;f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]" 2="$lastpostinfo[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
	</div>
	<div align="$stylevar[right]">
		$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if>
		<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]#post$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
	</div>

2) Replace with

Code:

	<div<if condition="is_browser('ie', 6)"> style="float:$stylevar[left]"</if>>
		<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&amp;f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]" 2="$lastpostinfo[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
		<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]#post$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
	</div>

2) Enjoy!

Eh, they added that feature for a reason. A person doesn't wan't to look at the same thing 5 times thinking there are new posts. Eventually, they will stop looking in that forum, even if there are new posts that happen to be by the same person.

Well most forums don't allow double posters, so if the name of the last poster stays the same most normal people assume that it's the same post. That's the case for my forum and it might be for others.

There is a time limit for double posts, if i'm not mistaken.

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