Hello,
Glad to be here.
I am very new to all this and their are a few hacks i don't understand how to install, i will post them here, can you please break it down as easy as it gets,
Installation:
================================================== ================================================== ==================
1) Add your user ID to the $config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] variable in the
vB config.php file so you do not accidentally delete yourself !!!
2) Re-read step one and make sure you do it !!!
3) If you are using an old Self Delete, uninstall it first:
vB ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Uninstall Self Delete
4) In the ZIP archive find the /forum directory and note how the directory structure is the
same as it is on your vB board, so FTP the files inside the Self Delete /forum directories
into the equivalent vB directories on your server
5) Import the product-self_delete.xml file:
vB ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
6) Go to the vB ACP -> vBulletin Options-> vBulletin Options -> Self Delete Settings and
set the Self Delete Settings
7) Go to the vB ACP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager and edit each usergroup to
set the Self Delete Permissions
8) Go to YOUR-SITE.com/YOUR-FORUM/profile.php and look for Delete Account in the side menu
================================================== ================================================== ==================
Un-installation:
================================================== ================================================== ==================
1) Uninstall the product-self_delete.xml file:
vB ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Uninstall Self Delete
2) Delete all the Self Delete files you FTPed during installation from your server
================================================== ================================================== ==================
As-is, no warranty of any kind. Make backups. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Ban from Thread Mod by FullyTested
This mod allows you to do the following:
1). Ban a user from a thread via the username drop down menu in a post (as well as the admin/mod cp).
All moderators with banning/unbanning permissions for the forum can use this feature.
This opens a page which allows you to select a ban period, whether or not to allow the user to view the thread,
and provide a text message which the user will see when trying to view or reply to the thread.
2). Once you ban the user you are returned to the same post from which you banned.
You will now notice a small icon besides the ip icon.
Clicking on that will open a page that will display the current ban information as well as a list of other threads
from which this user is banned.
You will also have the option to edit or lift the ban from here.
You may now also unban the user from the username drop down menu.
3). From the admin cp you can set whether you wish to have a Private Message sent to the user whenever they are banned/unbanned.
4). You may also view, edit, or lift bans from the admin/mod control panel. Just click on the 'view banned from thread users' link.
Install Instructions:
1). Open 'postings_PHP', 'banning_PHP', 'modcp_index_PHP' and follow the instructions inside to update those files.
2). Open 'postbit_template' and 'postbit_legacy_template' and follow instructions inside those files to update those templates.
3). Open 'cpnav_vbulletin_XML' and follow the instructions inside.
4). FTP the files you have modified in the previous 3 steps to their respective folders.
5). FTP the 2 new cron PHP files, 'optimize_thread_bans.php' and 'remove_thread_bans.php', to the cron folder.
6). FTP the included 'threadban.gif' image to the buttons folder.
7). Import 'ban_from_thread' XML file (as product) through AdminCP: Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
8). Go to the 'Ban from Thread' settings options under vBulletin settings, and insert a username to be used for the Private Messaging of banned users.
9). Done.
Thank you for installing this mod.
Sincerely,
FullyTested.
