Two things though. 1) If you use this hack the hack that states who closed the thread no longer works. 2) How would you apply this to when someone moves a thread? Parker

You can't account for every hack out there when you write hacks like this, but all you have to do is use the fix above I referenced in my previous post and you'll be all set!

After closing the thread and going back to the forum view, the thread that I've closed totally disappears off of the list. Has anyone got this working on 5.45c, and if so, can you share please? thanks, janitz

It says if you have the other hack that tells who closed to modify posting.cgi, but does not tell you which file to edit without that hack installed.
