Show Thread Enhancements - Old Thread Notices by BOP5

Latest Version 1.2.

This mod will display a notice at the top of any thread that is over X number of days old. You can choose whether you want to start counting from the date of the first post or the date of the last post. You can also choose to disable it on sticky threads (good if you use stickies for official forum business), disable it in closed threads, disable it in specific forums, disable it for specific threads, or disable it for guests (New in Version 1.1).

The purpose is obviously to stop bumping of old threads unless the user has a good reason. It's also a good way to notify whoever is reading a thread that it is old so they don't think a bumped thread is recent and reply to it without checking.

There are two phrases and one template to give you total control on how the notice looks and what it says.

Full instructions are included in the .zip file.

This was tested on 4.0.8 and 4.1.4 and should work with all 4.0.x/4.1.x versions. It will NOT work in vB 3.x. There is a separate version for 3.x here.

Live Demo: http://www.juot.net/forums/showthread.php?t=47981 (VB 3.8 version)

Note: The rounded borders shown in the screenshots will not work in Internet Explorer, they will show as normal square borders in IE.

If you've manually put the code in SHOWTHREAD than go to the Plugin Manager and edit the plugin: Old Thread Notice Template

Edit the line-

      $template_hook[showthread_above_posts] .= $templater->render();

Change it to-

     // $template_hook[showthread_above_posts] .= $templater->render();

And save changes.

That will stop it from showing in the original location.

Need your help again brother

can i add checkbox ? were it allows user reply only if he checked or it won't below is my blueprint style

This thread is more than {1} days old. It is very likely that it does not need any further discussion and thus bumping it serves no purpose. If you still feel it is necessary to make a new reply, you can do so by ticking the box below. Alternatively, you can search for newer threads that contain the same topic, or start a new thread (preferred).<br><br>
<label for="cb_????????"><input name="forcepost" value="1" id="cb_??????" type="checkbox">I am aware that this thread is rather old, but I still want to make a reply.</label>

Thanks for support bro

Hello,

No this mod has no way to enforce a checkbox before allowing someone to post. You could add a checkbox but I don't see anyway to make it prevent someone from submitting a new reply.
