thanks ubbdev for the idea.

This one works in regular forums except private forums. You have a fix?

------------------

it is working here with version 5.47d GoTorankusuKu, with both maximum and minimum security..

maybe its something with version 5.44 that you are running, sorry i dont have this version..

gotta check 00000001.cgi's like files of private foruns (just guessing here).. this are the files the script is checking to get first post date. or maybe put the first post date variable in wherever the private show threads list script is..

------------------

It works for me in both regular and private forums. I am running version 5.45c .

Thanks CopyCat.

It doesn't work for me too in private forums!
There's only an empty tag if i view the private Forum! Only the Topic starter is shown! I am using 5.47d!

Is there a way to display the time under the topic starter as well???

Thanks works great

kja ,
I think you add

$threadinfo[4]
$TheDatecat
$TIME

add this

$catime = $catarray[4];

before this

}else{
print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";
print "Error: unable to open file (date under Topic Starter)n";
}

and change this

$threadinfo[4]
$TheDatecat

for this

$threadinfo[4]
$TheDatecat $catime

demo http://banco.jogosonline.com.br/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Fórum+JOL&number=9

nice idea . it takes some space in the topic list, but wth.

Coolness! I used the original, and the extra "$catime = $catarray[4];" etc, stuff. worked great on 5.47d

glad to know that

docda, maybe its something with the login hack?..

Oops, after going back to my forumdisplay.cgi I accidently placed the code at the wrong place. Now it works in every forum. Sorry for doubting you CopyCat.

no prob

warning: this modification is opening 1 extra file for each topic, to get information not contained in the file that forumdisplay.cgi opens. If you experience problems with performance, remove the modification to improve it.

Please explain...

each time a topic is found this script opens the 000001.cgi like file for the topics first poster date. so, the script is opening all 000001.cgi's files listed on the forum page.

the time part gives me a 12 hour us format, how can I get the 24 hour time format?

Thanx!
