How-to-use: when you post a new topic or edit a first post of any topic, you can find and mark the checkbox named "Show on top of every page".
If you want fixed-on-top post to be slightly different in placement and color, try this code.

Fix for the the bug with wrong post edition information when the mod is switched on for a topic is here.

To install the MOD on phpBB since 3.0.6, in posting.php instead of

Code: Select all

         // If the post need approval we will wait a lot longer.

you have to find

Code: Select all

                  // Check the permissions for post approval. Moderators are not affected.

Nice Mod! Is it possible to put the latest post of a page on top of the new page? Here is the dutch Translation:

Just what I was looking for, but where do I put the files?? and will it work with all themes?

xml files in MOD package are just instructions for code and styles modification. You can run it to look in your web browser. You can find styles modification instructions in /templates MOD package folder.
The MOD can work for any custom style if you apply appropriate modifications (similarly to standart styles modification instructions) to it.

Does anyone have an example of this working on their page, if so could you PM or post a link so I can see a demo. I have installed 3 different MODS in the past hour and none of them are functional, they all have glitches so I just want to see a working example first, thank you.

So I installed this MOD but do not know what to do with it, how do I get the post to appear on top, do I do this in ACP ?

When you post new topic or edit first post of the topic, there should be a checkbox option available below the post form that named "Show on top of every page". If you check it, you'll see this post at the top of the topic pages starting from page 2 and so on.
