Use thread prefixes and with html code you can add colour its what I use you can also set them so only what group you want to use can have access to them

But if the reason is long, I don't want to have any prefixes stretching the page.

Well, Elixar didn't exactly ask for options, he asked for a mod that gives the option of providing a reason (i.e. it's not required). And this is the unpaid request forum, so it's the right place to ask someone else to code it.

I quickly searched the modifications on vBulletin.org, with no luck, but this is something you should do yourself to be thorough -- if you have not already. :) Both responses were reasonable and great suggestions, since you did ask for an "option" and this was not a programming question. :)

Thanks @KH99, I thought he was in the discussion forum myself. Thanks for the correction. :) I may have lead @Force down the wrong road with my post.

@Elixer - Sincerest apologies. My replies are based on the forum where the thread is posted. I thought you posted your question in the 'discussion' forum. As @KH99 correctly pointed out your question was a valid question for this area of the board. My statement above did not reflect that and now looking back seems a bit harsh in it's tone. In this case my blunder carried down into the thread; where my response lead the tone for others (I think). I believe in correcting and apologizing for my mistakes and this one is definitely on me. Sorry bud! :)

Made the same mistake as tbworld I thought after reading his post, it was in the wrong section as well, but I still think my first post was the best way to go unless he pays someone to code something is the only other option as there is no plugins around that will do it unless tbworld wants to make a quick plugin

You need this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=192476 updating to vb4 :)

No he is saying it needs updated then it will suit your needs.

The stupid nonreuseable kills some hacks cannot be updated to vB4, some coders dont want to update their hacks and noone else can do it because of "permissions"!

Released: 02 Oct 2008 -> today is 7 August 2014 . So funny.

How about using this mod here and just make it work like the "Reason for Closed Thread" mod ... I see it do the same thing, it can display the reason why above the thread just like that mod ...

Ya know, I never thought of that, that just may work for the OP.

That's visible to only Staff, and I'm planning on using it for Staff though, so it won't work.

Umm, you confused me, you said it is only visible to staff, and you plan on using for staff, do it won't work?

Originally Posted by ozzy47 (Post 2510202)

Ahhh, ok so you want to use the mod for staff, but also have a reason displayed if there was given, to two separate things.

Originally Posted by ozzy47 (Post 2510209)

Well that mod is marked as re-usable, so if I get some free time, I can see about modifying it, do you can run it as it is, and install a similar one, to use for adding closed reason comments.

It could be either or.

Yeah it would be a separate mod, from the one that was linked, bus similar functionality.

I assuming from reading the threads here that only your staff can lock a thread. Granted, an integrated system would be a bit nicer, but at least it would solve the immediate need and it would not have to be undone if a better solution came along.

Or have I just re-iterated what is already obvious. :) In that case nevermind. :)
