I Have noticed on many forums that when viewing a thread the user's name is bold and everything else isn't. But for threads, the name is not bold and the title is.

Depending on your color scheme it almost looks like the title is more important and has caused some confusion on my forums, so if you want to change it so that the name is bold and the title is not, here is the easy fix.

In showthreaded.php find:
code:
$Username$MainUserStatus
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="small">
<b>$Title</b>



And replace with:
code:
<b>$Username$MainUserStatus</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="small">
$Title



In showflat.php find:
code:
{$postrow[$i]['Username']}{$postrow[$i]['UserStatus']}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="small">
<b>{$postrow[$i]['Title']}</b>



And replace with:
code:
<b>{$postrow[$i]['Username']}{$postrow[$i]['UserStatus']}</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="small">
{$postrow[$i]['Title']}



I know this is just a real trivial and easy to do thing, but I figure a lot of people may not have thought about it before, but IMO I like it a bit more this way

Here is an example, you can compare it to what it looks like normally by looking to the left

Good point. Consider this changed for the next release.

Excellent, thanks!

Can't believe I actually had a valid suggestion to become a real feature

Thanks, I made a few more important items bold, as I think some of the links should stand out more than they currently do. For example, in ubbthreads.tmpl find:

code:
{$forum[$c][$f]['Title']}


and change that to:
code:
<b>{$forum[$c][$f]['Title']}</b>



You can see a working example of that here: www.michiganjeepers.com/forums/ubbthreads.php

And also the subject link in postlist.php. So look in postlist.tmpl for:

code:
{$postrow[$i]['Subject']}


and change that to:
code:
<b>{$postrow[$i]['Subject']}</b>



This may not suit everyone, but most forums I've seen have these bold, and IMO are easier to see as important items
