Quick Close/Open Thread (with reason)
 

This hack will allow you to [high]close/open a thread[/high] in 2 ways:
1. By entering a reason, while viewing the thread.
Let's see you view a thread and you find some post that is irrelevant to the content of your board (advertising, spam, etc).
The normal way is to go and reply and right after to close the thread.
Not anymore. Once entered the reason, vBulletin will post that message and close the thread for you automatically.
To re-open it, it goes the same way.

2. By adding an attachment or special note to your new thread or reply.
Let's see you want to open a new thread, make an attachment and close rightaway the thread.
All you have to do is check the box related to Close/Open Thread. vBulletin will post that message and close the thread for you automatically.
For new replies goes the same way. By simply checking the box, vBulletin will post your reply and Close/Open the thread.

Very cute... on my install list. Thank you!!

If I just follow the instructions for newthread.php and newreply.php, can I just make it work with the checkbox? I'm not intrested in having the quick close on the showthread.

Will this work ok on 2.2.5? Just making sure before I install.

I'm already presuming that the thread creator (or admin, depends on your forum options) is the only one who can see the "open/close" thread box, correct?

Anyway, thats probably a given. Great hack Nakkid, defiantly installing!

Just installed and it works great ;)
