All links in 1.6 ACP should use a '-' instead of a '/' ...
Are you sure you updated correctly?

A common issue that I notice is that people change their admin dir, but forget to change it before they perform an update.  Make sure you're using a 1.6 ACP, not a 1.4 one.
Oh, was I sposed to change it back to Admin before the update? Hrm, how do I fix it then? Because my my ACP uses a different directory.

EDIT: Nevermind, got it. Thanks for the really quick response though Smile. I love Xthreads so much!
Sorry to double post but I have an issue with Xthreads.

Ever since a particular update, not sure which one, or when really, but I haven't been able to utilise the postbit_first function. I thought upgrading may have helped, but apparently it has not. So here's what happens. Upon enabling the option in the forum I want, all of the posts use postbit_first, so basically, that just replaces postbit. Now, if I turn it off, they all of course use postbit. I do have {$first_post} and {$posts} and if I remove {$first_post} it does indeed remove it. I just can't seem to figure out what is wrong.

Thanks for the help.

Have you turned on "Show first post on every showthread page" for the forum you are trying to use {$first_post}? otherwise {$first_post} wont work.
@techu Sorry, I didn't make that very clear, when I said "Upon enabling the option in the forum I want" I meant that, yes, I have selected "Show first post on every showthread page".

On that note, that option works, it shows the first post on every page. It just applies whatever I put in my postbit_first template to all posts in the thread.

Are you using a modification such as PL9 Forum Icons? http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com/showthre...http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com/showthread.php?tid=288&pid=20
Will also be the case if you're using an older PHP in Templates plugin too.
Yep, it was PL9 Forum Icons. {$postbit_first} works perfectly now Biggrin. However, I tried to update to the new version but it just gave me a parsing error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/thesimsu/public_html/inc/functions_forumlist.php(361) : eval()'d code on line 3

One for each forum I believe. Obviously I think I'm missing something, because to properly remove the old one I had to manually edit the template to remove the changes otherwise it gave me that same error, except stating it was on like 5. Any ideas for this?
Check your various forumbit_* templates maybe, including prefixed ones.
I would like to say thank you for this great plugin!

But I'm not sure how to achieve something simple like:

When user "X" creates a new thread in a certain forum they will have a template already for them like:

Type of gun:
Trade or Sell?
Price of gun:
Short description of gun:
There is an example of trading forum here:

But if you want a simple one, I think we can modify it.
