Deleted posts/view post

[Bexter]

Ok, I just been lookin for like an hour for an answer to this. And no joy.

Ok, so on my forum, when a post is deleted, for mods and admins. The post looks like it is still there, but, can't see what was in the post.

This is what a deleted post looks like on my forum - http://www.girlgamers.co.uk/photos/deletedpostgg.PNG

But on a couple of other forums i'm at, where i'm a mod/super mod deleted posts are displayed as - http://www.girlgamers.co.uk/photos/deletedpostpspc.PNG and if i click on view post, I'll see what the user wrote.

I'd much rather have my deleted posts appear like that than how they do at the moment. So, how do I do it?
I've looked through all the vb options, and found nothing that could help. And just been looking on sites for any info, but given up looking

I've never seen a deleted post look like that, in your first screenshot. I think you may have done something to your vBulletin, I'm not sure...

The second screenshot is what threads/posts will look like if you choose to "Soft-Delete" them. If you choose the other option, which is "Permanently Delete", you won't see any kind of message as it will be as if the thread/post was never created.

Yeah i know that in the 2nd one the post is soft deleted.

But yeah, the post in the first one was soft deleted too, so i figured there must be an option or summit for it to be doin that. But i dunno.
Just installed a new template, but it's like that on all the templates. And i doubt it has anything to do with the products/plugins installed. - Although can't say for sure, as we've hardly had to delete any posts, gotta be less than 5 soft deleted, and less than 5 perma deleted too.

If it's a modification made to your forum that's causing it, installing a new template won't change anything -- it'll look the same regardless.

Try putting this on a new line in your includes/config.php file:
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then delete something and see if it's still like that. Because on a stock, straight out of the box vBulletin -- deleting things don't look like what's in your first screenshot.

Ah, yup, i know what it is now. I installed an extra profile fields page thing. And seems i can either have one or the other, properly deleted posts, or extra profile page thing.

Thanks for your help

No problem. If you ask in the modifications thread for the Extra Profile Fields hack, someone might be able to provide you a solution that'll accommodate both.

Ah, tisn't what I thought it was anyway.
Ah, very new to vb still, it was actually the User Postbit Template Selection hack that messed it up. I've disabled it for now, and all works fine :)

Cuz I couldnt use the code cuz it meant the shoutbox and everything was gone. But, tis all a learning experience :)
