vb3 Postbit Style Option v1.0 · **Released**: 01-31-2004

What Does This Hack Do?
--
Allows for users to choose either the vb2 style postbit or the vb3 style postbit.
Note: Makes the vb3 setting 'legacypostbit' obsolete so that users can choose which postbit they prefer.

Note: Please respect my work, do not edit, modify, or redistribute in any form unless prior consent is given.
I would appreciate that if you installed this hack that you click install.

After viewing the discussion on vb.com though it can be done with no file modifications I choose this specific way because:

1. I don't like the postbit style option showing in with the profile fields it's better laid out in the user options under thread options.
2. I find it necessary to cache the posbit_legacy template. So if you want to get technical about file mods not needed, sure, but then you'll be running an extra query each time you load the showpost.php and showthread.php files if you use the vb2 postbit.

Screenshots and zip attached below. If you have any comments, suggestions, or concerns please share them here.

The postbit.gif screen shows the difference between vb2 style and vb3 style if you didn't know the difference.

Enjoy,

It's possible to add custom postbits as well.

Yes, this can be done with a template mod.
Freddie showed us how - see the discussion on vbulletin.com about this.

alot of modifying for this but its a good addon...some users liked the old version of the postbit...

vb should also add this option to thier vb3.

I did it my own way, don't like it then don't use it that simple. And if Floris did his with a template mod then its not a hack.

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