I too

Great mod!

I would also like to request the ability for moderators to do this, as well as admins. Our mods are regularly telling people not to post in a thread again, and this hack will be very handy.

It would also be great to add a reason, which could then appear on the user message: "You have been removed from this thread because xxx". It would also appear when admins view the thread bans list.

Make sure you have the ban icon (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/) in /images/site_icons/ignore.png. If not, save it and add it there.

The modification uses this (default and already existing) icon from vBulletin 4 on purpose, so it would spare you the trouble of uploading a custom icon via FTP manually. But, in case for any reason you don't have the icon in your /images/site_icons folder - you should upload it manually :)



At the moment, that option is not available, but it's in my to-do list.
However, there is a simple work-around that will allow your moderators to ban users from threads - but it's kinda tricky. It will give your moderators permissions to ban users from threads even on forums that they don't moderate.

However, I must advise you to be patient. Both features you mentioned are in my to-do list.

To-Do:

- Allow Mods/Supermods to use thread bans [optional];
- Time ban [hours, days, weeks...];
- Display ban reason when user tries to enter thread;
- Notification for banned users via PM.

Does this work fine on VB 4.12?

Yes, I'm running 4.1.2 on my board.

does this work on 4.0.3 ?

Tks. Fix it :)

going to install vB 4.1.2 during the weekend and install this mod and will post more

I still have this issue and uploading that .png file did not resolve it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yep. I had the same thing and used Firebug to compare the code for this icon/link in the user info to others there, e.g. 'View Forum Posts'. I noticed that in the others, the image paths were missing the leading '/'

I edited the xml file for this mod to remove it, reinstalled the mod, and it's sorted.

So, open the xml file in a text editor, go to line 62 and change it from ...

<img src="/images/site_icons/ignore.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase btu_unban}">

to

<img src="images/site_icons/ignore.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase btu_unban}">

Save, and reinstall.
