The Really Helpful Post
If you haven't modified the
modifyoptions template, you may replace the entire template with the following one (this template is of the latest vBulletin version as of release: v3.6.7):
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function toggle_disabled(status, objid)
{
obj = fetch_object(objid);
if (obj)
{
obj.disabled = (status ? false : true);
}
}
//-->
</script>
