um - what on earth does this do?
That's a LOT of template edits...

Jacquii.

very confused also

I believe it allows you to highlight a particular forum (or forums) as a checked post awaiting moderation would appear, via template edits.

very confusing ..........

It appears to me that it allows posts from a certain forum to be highlighted. you could use it to identify premium or administrative posts in say ... the new post lists.

This is very helpful. I don't suppose this would work on posts made in sub-forums of the parent forum id? I need to do this for about six forums that are all part of the same category.

The most confusing hack seen on vBulletin.org..
Good effort anyway lol.
