ok, who modified the thread title? :|

We all know that HTL hacks may not be released without a .txt, so why bother with cluttering up the title areas on the site with useless pointers?

I don't know much at all about these things, so could anyone tell me what the difference in performance there would be between using this and just using a conditional and template edits to do the same thing?

I did. It's just an indication for anyone who do not know about the rules.

I'm going to ask this again - if it is a rule, then why in the blue hell is it not stated in the announcement that has all the other rules in it at the top of the Full Releases forum?

Exactly. Either put it there and stop editing titles to clutter them up even more, or disband the rule (which makes more sense, still, but ohwell, we've had that discussion already).

Sadie: using a conditional and template edits is rather silly, as vB3 comes with BOTH of the template styles pre-packaged. To merge the two of them into one big template and then splitting them up using a conditional is a lot of needless data and server memory being used.

This hack (mine) is the most efficient one of all (two..) versions I've seen so far: ge-force2k's and freddie's. So if you want the most server-friendly solution, this would be the one...

I used the hack at vbtemplates that just add a selection box to the usercp, then puts a conditional in phpinclude_start to either use the postbit or postbit_layout, so its not too much editing. But thanks - you answered my question. Time to try out the old HTL

The one from vb.com by freddie was good, but it would add a query to all showthread/showpost/announcement pages (cos it wouldn't cache the new template).

While I might not have need of this specific hack, KuraFire, I hope you (and others) keep in mind the great number of people who benefit from your work and who greatly appreciate it! You guys & gals not only add to "technology"...you enhance the work & lives of real people. I know as an Admin that I'm always excited to be able to add something unique to my forum. And I know it is people like you that I have to thank.

So, "thanks!" and remember the countless hapless noobs like me who appreciate your time, expertise & all the hoops you jump through for us. :knockedout:
