Update User Title on Ban

When a moderator bans a user, the user's title does not change automatically to reflect his new banned status. This hack fixes that.

Edit: For those who downloaded it before this update, when it says look for the first string, it should be the SECOND appearance of this string! Sorry for the confusion.

Great hack !! but ?

So far I only have been able to find banning options in the admin control panel that lets me ban the IP address or an E-mail address.

How does one ban the actual username (login name) ??? where can in find that option ?

I'm curious for this, too. Right now any 'banned' members of mine are in a special User Group and that fixes their title automatically. I set their group so they couldn't see the board, use pm's or anything. Basically, they are like 'guests'.

How does one go about actually 'banning' a member without changing their usergroup?

well mods have a control panel in that panel they can search names then have option to ban the name as a mod cant ban emails or ips only names

If I wanted to make it more obvious he was banned, what would I change in the hack? IE: change his username to *BANNED* and his custom title to "This user is history."
