I cannot say because I do not know. I don't run any 5.47 boards, and it was sent to me to upload as an update. Hack away...make back-ups..and let us know!! <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />
Hi there. I have this hack installed on my 5.47d and it works perfectly, even with the 'Last Post By' hack in ultimate.cgi. The bug fix for the 'Last Post By' works. The bumped thread does not show in 'Last Post By'; only the 'real' last post does.
I would just like to say, I have used a lot of hacks from this UBB, and sincerely thank all of the people here who make these hacks possible! They really do add a lot to the V5 boards. <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />
I just installed this hack yesterday and it slowed my forum (with over 500,000 messages) down to a crawl. Deleting or moving threads became completely impossible. I had a look at their code and found some code that was a bit (without trying to belittle the efforts of the original coder) not-so-efficient programming.
In my case which so many messages, it took about 20 minutes to close/move/delete a thread, causing the browser to time out and the cgi-script to fail. I've made a few changes that brought this 20 minutes down to 0.6 seconds (yes, less than a second).
Since this is an old hack, and I'm not sure anyone is still using it, let me know if you're interested in the fix and I'll post it here.
That's it! This will get rid of the incredible time-consuming "grep", not to mention "grep" will generate an error if a topic-title contains more than 3 question marks in a row.
The original loop with the grep took about 20 minutes going through 7000 threads. If you make the above change, it will take about 0.5s.
Enjoy the new and improved Sticky Threads! <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />
Thanks Dr_C, Ive got this hack on my board, and Ive noticied that on my larger forums, it can take a substantial amount of time to move/delete a post thread. Although I was unable to diagnose the cause of the problem myself. Im going to make the changes you suggested and hopefully it will remedy my problem also <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Cheers

I have just installed this hack on my version 5.45c...when I make a thread "sticky" it deletes the thread! Whether I make it temporary or permanent...anyone have any ideas why?
