This mod is not the place for such things, there are plenty of threads on the subject, or you can ask in the appropriate forums. :)

How so ? This mod requires a template edit and the template supplied is very basic to say the least. Very poor instructions. OH I forgot, there are no BASIC instructions.
MOD rating = bad

This mod does not require any template edits, that's your choice. I'm not here to teach you how to edit templates. Surprisingly, no one else seems to have a problem.

I suggest you uninstall it, and look elsewhere for what you want.

I didn't have any problems at all. I edited the template and have a custom message now.
However it occured to me that this MOD does have the potential to cause a problem for those not used to editing the templates.

If for instance your browser crashes or you loose the connection whilst the board is in a disabled state, some may find it difficult to get back into their forum.


From your MOD post..

Note: The supplied "Board_Closed" template is pretty basic, you should customise it to suit your needs.

"should" - i.e. it's optional, not required - I'll bet most people don't (I haven't).

Im not tryna be negative.. but what in the world is the point of this when U can go to:
vb opts / Help Turn Your vBulletin On and Off / Reason For Turning Forum Off

BAM !.

Perhaps if you actually bothered to READ the description ........

This allows you to display a completely custom page to members when you close your forum (instead of the current standard error type page).

Paul M, the only thing this mod missed is that it can't be used on multilanguage forums as there are no translation strings.

Also, I think that this mods control panel must be done as this mod has:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=122998

Attachment 61495

And when the board is closed the user will see smth like this:
Attachment 52899

P.S. To understand what I am talking about you have to install this mode and see how the forums rules' page is generated there.

But that mod also doesn't have translation strings for that

filelds.
But I know this is not to hard to implement. I hope so :p

What are you on about :confused: It's a template, you can edit it to be any language you like.

And if there are 3 languages on my forum? ;)

Any way I made a proposal above on how I see the next versions of this mod. :)
