I run a couple Automotive Forums and Blogs so I thought I would share this. This template modification alows your users to quickly submit interesting Automotive related threads and articles to AutomotiveArena.com which is a Digg-like site for automotive related content. Installation is easy and should take less than 5 minutes.

1.) Upload Aa.png to your images/buttons/ directory.
2.) Edit postbit(_legacy) or postbit

FIND:
-----
<if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" id="qr_$post[postid]" onclick="return false"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickreply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[quick_reply_to_this_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>

ADD AFTER:
----------

<a href="http://www.automotivearena.com/submit.php?url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$post[threadid]&title=$thread[title]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/Aa.png" alt="Submit thread to AutomotiveArena.com" title="Submit to AutomotiveArena" border="0" /></a>


This has been tested on both 3.5 and 3.6 versions of vbulletin.

[not directly related to this mod]
hmm.. is there a way to change your digg-like site so that the thread title takes the user directly to the submission website?

right now you have to click on the domain link below the post title to get there, which doesn't make sense to users and has no anchor-text seo value...

Notice how on Digg.com you click on the title of a article and you go to the article, not to your description page of the article.

IMPORTANT

This hack is no longer functional, the author has changed his homepage to redirect to his forums.
