Hey Jen, I've installed this hack on vB 2.2.9 and it works a gem! The only problem is that my Quick Reply has disappeared and I'm pretty sure it's because of your hack. Do you know how I can get it back?

It's okay. I was just being stupid. I edited a fresh "showthread.php" script which didn't have the 'Quick Reply' hack in it (obviously). It's all fine and dandy now. :)

how do i make it so me as the owner says President, but just me only. i dont want to make a new user group for my self, and if this worked in pms and announcments that wouuld be great. I think you would have to add some to phpinclude, though i could be wrong

[]\[]emesis: That is easily done just by editing your own user profile in the admin to use a custom user title. You could of course use another usergroup, it all depends on exactly what you are trying to accomplish and if it came be done either by editing your own profile or not.

I apologize for not getting everything updated as requested / promised. Things have been hectic the past few months and I have not had as much time as I would like to put into this and other such endeavors.

I have not tested this with the Quick Reply Hack. Most other issues are resolved simply by verifying that you haven't overwritten changes made to the SQL queries that those hacks also modified.

I will post an update asap with the hack updated to show in PMs, user profiles, etc. I need to do this for my board as well so this is definitely a priority.

well thats just the thing, im the owner of my site and im in the admin usergroup and i already have something set for admins, but i dont want to make a new user group for it to say something new.

No updates?

hey, is it possible to make it so that a mod/smod/admin can change there own and not change the whole thing?

Eg.

[name]
[custom usertitle]
[custom group title (mods/smods/admins only)]

Wow this is great! It was a bit hard to understand what I was doing at first, but now I have it running perfectly! This is exactly what I was looking for!

*clicks install*

Thanks brownafroduck!!

Remember, 99.9% of the problems people have reported are as a result of OTHER hacks that modify the same SQL queries as my hack. If you have problems installing this hack then odds are that you installed another hack that modified the same SQL queries and then overwrote those changes with these. Check the SQL if you have problems! (I haven't verified the original SQL, but don't believe any of my previously installed hacks modified the original vb SQL's modified by this hack, if I'm wrong, please let me know so I can update the instructions as needed).

I was reading through this thread, and people seem to think this is the same as other hacks but it isn't.

I have a usergroup system were people are randomly put into a usergroup which determines their access to a certain forum. However, I still wanted to have another status based on their post count to show how powerful they were. The other hack doesn't do that. I wanted a usergroup and userstatus fields, not a userstatus field and custom field. In fact, I haven't seen a single other hack that can do that which is why I am very pleased with this hack.
