Quick question... How exactly do you ban the person from a thread? lol, I don't see the button to do so.

Thanks,

Click the users name (in the thread) and a dropdown shows right?
Well it should show there

I do not see the option in the drop down menu, I'll recheck to make sure I installed everything correctly, I thought I did it right.

Thanks for all the information... I added the code in the postbit_legacy, but I forgot the postbit template... It's all working now.

Thanks again,

I have a suggestion for your plugin. I think it would be very usefull if you could add something that says this user has been banned from this thread. For example maybe make a big banned from thread sign pop up in the upper right hand conner of his posts in that thread. This gives the mods a record that he was banned at least.

Another good addition would be for the board to Automatically PM the user who has been banned notifying the user that he has been banned from a thread.

Finally a timelimit option would be neat too.

Take these suggestions as you will. I do want to say that I see #1 as very important. There needs to be a record of who was banned where.

Has potential. I just don't want to give my supermods that much power. I'd also like to see the ability to ban mods in forums they don't mod.

[paulfletcher]

Good idea.

Quick question ; can you ban a user from a thread when that user hasn't yet posted in it?
