Please be so kind to put the product file with the install information in one zip-file!

Not gonna make a zip file, I prefer having a simple hack like this with just a single xml file.

Well I guess I could make a small modification, that would allow you to see the current bans..

For the showthread edits, do you add the code after EVERY instance of <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">, or just one?

There's like 5 instances of that particular code in the template.

I only have 1 in mine.., you must be using old templates. I'll try and make it more exact.

Well, the temp. is updated for 3.5.4, so I don't know.

There's one for threaded, liner, and hybrid modes, and one for the thread tools, search thread, rate thread, and display modes. As it is, adding the code to every instance of that makes the ban options appear in every one of those dropdown menus.

There is only 1 SHOWTHREAD template for each style. And this is the only template you edit; please check the first post as I have updated the instructions with a more exact location.

Oh, no, you must have misunderstood me, I meant there were multiple instances of the <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"> code block in the SHOWTHREAD template. Now that there were multiple showthread templates.

Oh, and as for the ban/unban user thing a previous poster suggested, I was thinking, making the Ban / Unban user field in the dropdown menu say Ban if they arent banned, or unban if they ARE banned, instead of just Ban / Unban, would be a good idea, since then you'd be able to see a user's ban status. Though I too would like to see an easier option to view all banned users in a thread.

Hmms I dont know an easier way to do it right now without adding another query, I dont think its that big of a deal. Im making a small mod so you can see forum wide bans branched down into each thread as it is; adding it so it says "ban" or "unban" depending on their status is really not something im worried about right now.
