New threads not showing up with bold titles

[JohnGrind]

Hey so I haven't made any template changes or anything, but on my forum, (4.2.2) new threads are not showing up with a bold title and same thing for old threads that get new posts. Some will, but most do not. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

Thanks.

Please try the following:

1. To disable the plugin/hook system completely, edit includes/config.php and add the following code:
Just below

<?php

enter

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

2. Now go to AdminCP > Style Manager
and create a new style with no parent.
Now browse your forum using this new style.

Does the problem still occur?

I'm a bit confused. Where do I enter that code? And will it impact the current template/theme I have?

You need to edit the php file /includes/config.php.

Step 1 disables any add ons.
Step 2 creates a new default vBulletin style. It doesn't do anything to your existing style.

We need to carry out these steps, because the problem you're having does not occur in a default vBulletin installation, so it's possible it's related to either add-ons or custom themes/styles.
