Corrected 6 Jun 2003
We have found it useful to show the original topic post date when topics are listed, as shown below:
This requires changes to FORUM.ASP in four places, and (optionally) changes to ACTIVE.ASP in four places. The line numbers given are for a forum with several mods, so your line numbers may be different.
===== START OF MOD CHANGE LIST =====
FORUM.ASP
Around line 240
Where the SQL Select statement is built, add the T.T_DATE field between T.T_LAST_POST and T.T_LAST_POST_AUTHOR as shown in red (note: I also have the Poll mod installed so your code may not match mine exactly)
'## Forum_SQL - Get all topics from DB
'################### Poll Mod - Added T.T_ISPOLL to next line ###################
strSql ="SELECT T.T_STATUS, T.CAT_ID, T.FORUM_ID, T.TOPIC_ID, T.T_VIEW_COUNT, T.T_SUBJECT, T.T_ISPOLL,"

strSql = strSql & "T.T_LAST_POST_REPLY_ID, M.M_NAME, MEMBERS_1.M_NAME AS LAST_POST_AUTHOR_NAME "
Around line 465
Assign a field sequence number to the variable tT_TOPIC_POST and renumber the subsequent entries. Note that your field numbers may vary, and that you must increment all the field numbers following the inserted field so that the definitions are all sequential and consecutive
tT_AUTHOR = 7
tT_STICKY = 8

Around line 480, find the code indicated, and add the two lines in red:

Around line 565, find the line indicated and replace it with the three lines in red
