  157. }
  158. if(document.post_form && location.href.match(/action\/post\/?/) && vf_username != 'Guest') {
  159.     _posting_form.init();
  160. }
  161. //-->
  162. </script>
 

Use that.

I've added in an option for you to be able to use:
_fields[_f++] = new Array('title', 'This is a title');

Should work {Smile}

Ok it worked, but this shows: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x20/magedesigns/misc/posting.jpg But I don't think it would actually matter as it's going on a black skin anyways, but just in case if there was a lighter skin, what could fix it?

Woops.

Change:
if(_fields[_f][0] == 'title'){
_row.lastChild.lastChild.setAttribute('colSpan', 3);

To:

if(_fields[_f][0] == 'title'){
_row.lastChild.setAttribute('colSpan', 3);
