i was thinking! and if someone does something bad i would like to "Lock them out" of the board untill the problem is solved! any way to do this?
do you mean the fact that the board is in the maintenance mode and determined persons (e.g. Admins) can enter the board?
Yours sincerely
joking
ok say i got "Jack" and "Jack" was cussing some people out! soo i want to lock him out of the board till the problem is solved! but i dont wana delete his account or ban his ip! just temparary lock him out of the board!
is this possible?
the lockout message would say something like
"You are currently locked out of the board. Please wait till an admin lets you back in"
or something of that kind
What version are you running?
isn't that what banning is?????
but to maybe a specific forum banning hack would be good
ubb 605
i dont wana ban them! it would be easier to make it soo i can edit there settings and click a box that says "Temp Lockout"
in the control panel, when you search for the user, right next to the option to be an admin, it says "able to post notes?"
just click that to "no"
that's exactly what your trying to do. that's called banning people.
i was wondering what that did! so that will lock him/her out? or will it just stop him/her from posting?
yo wazzup dawg peetwokay in da houze!
It will stop them from posting under that account. They will still be able to read your forums, just not participate.
Hope that helps,
p2kay!
i dont want them to post or read the formums
to prevent them from reading, just create a .htaccess file and add their IP
Every person banned from my site gets locked out like that
ah never mind! i guess no one wants to work on this! thanks for nothing :rolleyes:
why not do it yourself then.
