Creating XThreads Application Togehter

[leefish]

I was thinking about this, and I think rather than linking to other sites - which are never EXACTLY what you want, you could make a wireframe of this - by that, I mean think about HOW you want each piece to look - and draw it out on paper or in photoshop. I find that that helps me a lot.

I suggest that as a first step you make a list of the templates you will want to change - probably you will want at minimum

forumdisplay_threadlist, forumdisplay_threads, postbit_first, showthread, newthread, editpost_first.  If you are thinking of making this a sellable option then a sticky thread with a "special" layout would put stickied threads at the top of the listing (which you could offer as a premium service)

Its really easy to just ask RateU to make stuff all the time, but you can get a LOT of fun out of doing these yourself with RateU (and me, where I can) about to help.
