As much as i'm against this there is a code in code database you can use. support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=codedatabase&action=display&n=1&thread=70391

ok snake air I know you are against this but say I have one board that is a Christian website and sometimes people use the delete post button in order to avoid the rules of no flaming on my site.... ex.... they will flame another member, they know the other member has seen it and will report it to the admins but when we go to look it has been deleted.... you see what I am saying? So therefore, if I have no record it is one word against another and I cannot do anything without proper proof ....

Therefore, having the feature sometimes in this type of atmosphere can be an asset to the administration. It helps us to be able to monitor certain things, and then we can ask them to modify their post or do what we call a "request for edit" of the user so that the post is no longer offensive. If someone totally deletes a post I am not assured that I can get it back with the fix a board feature, but with that feature I can retrieve editted info. Sometimes.

I know this explanation is long and I am sorry for that, but really I hope it helps you to understand why some of us may want to use the feature....

I understand that we can add it to our scripting, what I do not know is HOW to add it could you possibly explain that to me so that I may use it at wherelovereigns.proboards45.com which also a site of mine called Holy Apostolic Connection.

Yea i understand why you would want to use the code now. There is no editing of the code required. Just put the code in your global footer. For further help with this code please continue this in coding support board where the code creator hangs out incase the code may need to be updated. support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=codesupport
