i use the hack for the last 10 posts from wluke. the links looks like:

the name of the thread
views - replies

but i just want something like this:

the name of link [ >>> ]
views - replies

with my html knowledge i could not make the necessary change on the line:

<a href=\"http://www.zoque.com/vbulletin/showthread.php3?threadid=%d\">%s</a>

best regards

I don't remember writing this.

This comes to mind for a couple of reasons...

1. I would use vBulletin's built in database functions because they have more flexibility.

2. I would have used a template instead of hardcoding the HTML in the file.

Maybe Kevin (Tubedogg) wrote this....

However simply make HTML as usual. Each %s is a string variable that is listed at the end of the printf. Match the variable with its %s and you can change the look.

I think that might be some iteration of IRC's active topics hack. Not mine, I don't know how to use printf. :p

If I remember correctly that is the original active topics hack that I used last year on my board (though I didn't write it). It was released within a couple of months of vB coming I think.
