What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Auction Closed". It will add the prefix "Auction Closed" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread.

This is a modification of code provided by Eric.

Tested of vB4.1.3

Worked perfectly

Hi there,

Just nosying around for some sort of auction function. So presumably you'd be asking your members to post their bids for an auction and then just mark it as closed afterwards?

i believe that was the intention. Of course I'm not entirely sure since I was just asked to make the mod, but from what is developed here that would be the way you would have to work it.

Trying to figure out what the purpose of this mod is? What am I missing?
