This mod enables the first post to stay at the top of all pages in a multi-page thread. There are a couple of mods for this for vBulletin 4 but nothing for vBulletin 5 until now.
There are a couple of use cases wherein you would want to always display the first post in all pages:

There are a couple of use cases wherein you would want to always display the first post in all pages:
- To minimize off-topic replies and comments that are not related to the first post. This makes moderating the posts for moderators and administrators easier.
- To make the ad in the first post always visible to the users.
- If you have an ad in the first and/or last posts, it will not render when navigating to that page upon clicking the previous, next or page number button or upon entering a number in the page number field and pressing the Enter key.
- If you have an ad outside the thread (in the header, footer or anywhere on the page), it will not reload the ads when navigating to the pages in a thread, thus user would see the same ad and they would likely ignore it resulting in low click-through rates.
Notes:
- This mod requires editing an existing vBulletin template. This change is unavoidable because the existing conversation template lacks hook locations to be able to insert the first post at. Since we can't use template hooks and we are editing an existing template, there may be template merge conflicts in future upgrades and you would have to resolve them after every upgrade if that happens. The code changes in the template are minimal and the likelihood of having merge conflicts during an upgrade is low. But in any case, applying the template changes is easy.
