No more Thread too long messages! How to get the last 10 posts in the reply window

Tiny tiny hack! However I know some newbies may wanted to have this coded a long time ago on their forum

In the file newreply.php (under the action="newreply" section)

if ($DB_site->num_rows($posts)>$maxposts) {
eval("\$threadreviewbits = \"".gettemplate("threadreview")."\";");
} else {
while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts)) {
$username=$post[username];
$reviewmessage=bbcodeparse($post[pagetext],$forumid,$post[allowsmilie]);

eval("\$threadreviewbits .= \"".gettemplate("threadreviewbit")."\";");
}
}

And replace with

$i = 1;
while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $i<=10) {
$username=$post[username];
$reviewmessage=bbcodeparse($post[pagetext],$forumid,$post[allowsmilie]);

eval("\$threadreviewbits .= \"".gettemplate("threadreviewbit")."\";");
$i++;
}

You can set $i equal to the amount of posts you want to see. So far no bugs since this is such a tiny addition! Hope some people like this

nice, i asked about this before, and was told the number of messages displayed on the reply window depends on the number of posts per thread page you set in the options panel.

So this looks great

Thanks! I'm not sure if there are ways to make this more optimized, although 10 loops shouldn't be too stressful IMHO...

But do tell me if this effects your board in any way. I"ll try my best to fix it.
