The newbie hack is useful for you to track the threads created by first time posters. I like to do that because we have a lot of idiots on our boards who come to cause trouble and spread rumors, and normally it's these people who post one time, so they are easily flagged.
Leshrac - Well if I struggle with the last part of it, I'll turn it over to you. My coding on it might be shaky so I am gonna double-check it.
Gonna document the newbie one tonight for those that want it, and then concentrate finishing the News Fader.
