Files Altered: /admin/showoneuser.php, /admin/dochangeuser.php, addpost.php, /langauges/****/addpost.php

New Files: none

Database Altered: 1 field (U_FloodCheck) added to the w3t_Users table

Info/Instructions: Edit the user's profile, in there, you'll see an option for the maximum number of posts they can make within a 24 hour period. Putting a 0 here provides no restriction. Otherwise put a number. Example "10" would only allow 10 posts within
a 24 hour period.

Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify.
If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.

Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.

This is exactly what I've been looking for - again josh, you have come through with flying colors... thank you so very much for all the hard work on everything you contribute to UBBT!!!

Great mod! I will definitely use this, thanks

Let me jump into shamelessly taking credit for this suggestion made some time back in the suggestions forum

Hi,

While this will be useful, I was wondering if it would be possible to restrict all users to post more than X times in a single thread?

One of the biggest problems on my board is that certain people have a tendency to turn threads into yes-no debates with neither group backing down an inch. Gets really boring of course.

Sanuk!
