So I need to change the actual templates? I don't want to mess something up

That is by design :)
The site you are talking about probably has a 3.0.x vBulletin board with Xenon's original hack installed there.

The best way not to mess something up is not to install hacks. ;)
However, according to the manual you I believe that you DO need to change actual templates.

Thank you. Do you know of any way to fix this?

haha... ok I will give it a shot

Why do you want to "FIX" it? It's how it is supposed to work.

I'm mostly interested in the editing hiearchy.. how do I set that up so super-mods and mods can't edit admin's posts?

When I go edit.. I see some advanced options now, but do I have to do anything else so that the editing hierarchy is set in place?

Oh, it's supposed to be there? It just seems strange to have these edit options available before I even post the message.. Can I control you sees this? Is it just me, or my other admins, supermods and moderators as well?

Both boards are running 3.5... I actually prefer not seeing the option to edit before I submit the post.

On second thought.. That's pretty interesting... Maybe I'll just keep it as is. :)

Read hack description, features section.

Concerning the "see it or not", it was requested by a few people and that's why I did it. I am not going to undo it... Besides, the presence of that form doesn't harm you.
