And will just doing this instead of outcommenting if I don't need to make the database or anything hinky?

this small change is all what ya need, you don't have to do anything more

Yep, I tried it and it works...I was just wondering if it will still try and add that usergroup and just get denied, or will it really even matter? Also for the user title, I think it edits the same line of code that I had to change for the current hack, what do I do about that to make it update the title?

it would just try to create another usergoup if your usergroup x won't exist.

you can implement the hack as it is said in the txt-file, just instead of changing the line to you have to change it to

It exists, so will it still try to create Banned by Moderator, or just ignore that completely?

it will ignore that passage

Now I'm getting "You may not ban someone who is not a normal registered user!"

After adding the update title hack at least, not from yours...

are you sure you haven't banned this person before?
if this person isn't in usergroup 2, you cannot ban it with the mod cp

Yeah, they're listed as a member and it's doing it. Do you want to to post a copy of my current user.php so you can confirm I have the coding right?
