Thread Start Date Hack

maniclion · 09-07-2006, 02:10 PM

I remember back in the day the threads had their start dates next to them so you knew if the thread had been bumped from decades ago without opening it. Is there not a hack available for that anymore in the newer versions?

I found one called AutoDate:
This plugin allows you to prefix a date in the title of a new thread. The date prefix, separator character, and forums with prefixing are all customizeable on the vBulletin Options page.

I thought that was one of the best add-ons of the older versions.

I agree 100%

That was a version ago, we are now 3.6, it used to be so useful so you knew automatically when an ancient thread had been bumped...
