Is there a way to assign a different postbit to a specific forum? Example: say I'm using Postbit Legacy for all of my forums but I want to use the horizontal postbit for forum #2. Is this possible? If yes could someone instruct me on how to do so.


Thanks in advance

Not directly, but there is a workaround for that. What you would need to do is create a new style for that forum and force that forum to use it in the Forum Manager settings.

Then just copy the contents of the postbit template to postbit_legacy.

Steve,

I'm sure that someone can create a plugin that'll accomplish what I'm trying to achieve, for I have one that does it for the first post ONLY.

Until that happens this is a great workaround and gets the job done.... THANKS!!
