Good catch oatsy. Problem solved. Thanks a lot.

Coder may want to take note and fix the path in the file for the benefit of others.

I edited the xml file for this mod to remove it, reinstalled the mod, and it's sorted.

So, open the xml file in a text editor, go to line 62 and change it from ...

<img src="/images/site_icons/ignore.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase btu_unban}">

to

<img src="images/site_icons/ignore.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase btu_unban}">

Save, and reinstall.

Any news about new release?

Great mod

[Fakher]

Now one this ....
If the forums is not installed at root the image ignore.png ll not load coz it tries to load image
http://yourdomain/images/site_icons/ignore.png
so if you have forums like in forum directory it should load from here
http://yourdomain/forums/images/site_icons/ignore.png
but it stall loads from old path http://yourdomain/images/site_icons/ignore.png....

i guess this needs to be fixed.

Two things:

1) All staff levels need to be able to ban/unban (as has been stated)

2) There needs to be an indicator on the banned persons post(s) in the thread letting us know that he is banned from it.

Thanks

Thanks for this. Haven't tested it yet, but seems to be working well on 4.1.1.

Marked installed and rated.

[DonosOdD]

Tagged for later. Might find a good use for this one.

[Phaedrus]

Does anybody have this working on 4.1.2?

For example, vendors could ban certain competing vendors from posting in their threads taking them off track?
