Nice mod, good idea. :)

What about making something similar where instead of it saying 404, it says in huge bold letters:

BANNED!

hehe :D

[Vladdy]

Oh I suppose you could just insert any text in place of the 404 error :D

[Vladdy]

Hmmm, this mod isn't working for me either. After I added this, I still got the regular default ban page :confused:

Why not just use:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == BANNEDUSERGROUPIDGO'SHERE) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
header("Status: 404 Not Found");
exit;
}


its shorter.

The @ in the code prevents the header function from showing a error just incase it fails. If it did fail for some reason the user would know that the page is not a real 404 error.

Side note: in PHP, always use single quotes in key-based arrays; for example, $bbuserinfo['userid']. vB2 uses the incorrect method of not using quotes which long story short is bad. If you want to be compliant in templates, too, you can use {$variable['key']}. :)
