A Suggestion:

You say this in the instructions:

PHP Code:

---------------------------------------------------- 
Step 6: Modifying the SHOWTHREAD Template 
---------------------------------------------------- 

Find: 
<!-- End content area table (CREATED IN HEADER!!) -->    
    </td> 
</tr> 
</table> 


After that, ADD: 
<br> 
$closereason 
<br> 


If there is no reason then you have 2 <br>, means 2 new empty lines. It's better to put those 2 <br> in the showthread_closereason template.

And here is a little addon wich also displays the user that closed that thread:

Execute this query:

PHP Code:

ALTER TABLE thread ADD `who` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL; 


Open root/postings.php and find:

PHP Code:

$closereason=" closereason='".addslashes($reason)."', "; 


Change it to:

PHP Code:

$closereason=" closereason='".addslashes($reason)."',who='".addslashes($bbuserinfo[username])."', "; 


Then open the template: showthread_closereason

Find:

PHP Code:

$thread[closereason] 


Add after it:

PHP Code:

By: $thread[who] 


Done.
