I think this is what I am doing now, but the problem is that when the thread goes onto a second page, the first post on the second page gets class="firstpost" too. Is there any other way to find out programmatically whether a post is the first one in a topic? bobbyh on "Detecting whether a post is the first in a topic" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/detecting-whether-a-post-is-the-first-in-a-topic#post-16021 Wed, 07 May 2008 09:31:48 +0000 bobbyh 16021@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Lookfab, here's a slight tweak to the default kakumei topic.php theme file that should do what you want: <code><ol id="thread" start="<?php echo $list_start; ?>"></code> <code><?php $i = 0; ?></code> <code><?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?></code> <code><li id="post-<?php post_id(); ?>"<?php if ($i == 0) { echo 'class="firstpost"'; } elseif !($i % 2) { echo ('class="alt"'); }?>></code> <code><?php bb_post_template(); ?></code> <code></li></code> <code><?php $i++; ?></code> <code><?php endforeach; ?></code> <code></ol></code> You can then style the class "firstpost" using CSS to make it stand out however you want... I didn't test this, but I think it should work either by itself or with a tweak or two.

How do I detect whether the post currently being displayed using "post_text()" is the first one? Thanks.
