Inline Moderation Tools (v1.2.1)

Note: Development of this hack has stopped.
The built-in version is far superior to this hack and has better controls and permission checking. For those of you who will remain on 3.0.x, I will try to support this hack as best I can, but it won't be a top priority. If you plan on moving to 3.5, I hope this hack made your life a little bit easier while you waited .

Current Version: 1.2.1 (Wed Dec 11 15:26:30 PDT 2004)

What this is?
This hack will allow you and your moderators to do your job more effectively by allowing you to mass-moderate. You can perform the same action on multiple threads and posts without leaving the current page!

What is required?
In order to use this hack, you must have cookies and JavaScript enabled! If you don't, this hack will not work. (Note: there is no "alternative display" for people without JavaScript enabled).

How many changes?
Uploads: 2
File edits: 2
And template additions/edits

Support
I will provide all support here in this thread.

Bugs
I have thoroughly tested this hack with as many different combinations I could think of. But I probably have either over looked one or two, or just didn't think of some. If you find any odd behaviour, please let me know!

hey i was wondering if there was any way you could just make this able to be moderated by a certain user-group instead of you having to keep admin mods to forums

Probably not; development of this hack has pretty much stopped due to 3.5 coming out and this feature being included by default. That feature is much more powerful and has superior implementation and control over what users can or cannot do.

By upgrading to 3.5 gold

[EDDIE!]

yea but 90% of the hacks I have aren't compatible with 3.5, so that's why I'm not upgrading yet.

This hack seems to have added 5 queries to every forum page and the queries even show for regular users who are not mods\admins. Do these 5 queries increase load negatively?
