UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 5 Support Identify who closes a post?

Is there a way to identify who closes a post? We've had a rash of "stealth closing" lately, and we don't know who dunnit. Thanks for any help!

Yo yo yo! peetwokay at your service!

Open your ubb_library2.pl file

Search for this:

Topic Closed

and replace it with this:

Topic Closed by $UserName

Whenever someone closes a thread, it will be displayed at the top of the message next to the little pad lock. So it would look like:

Topic Closed by p2k or maybe Topic Closed by hanakxo

p2k!

Thank you so very much! <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well it seems to have worked quite well, except for one thing... on a few posts, it says "closed by [name]" and the screenname listed as the closer was not actually the person to do so. Rather, it is the last person to have replied to the thread.

Could this be caused by a person responding to the thread while it is being closed?

I think this is a thread that should be carried over to www.ubbdev.com, since we no longer support hacking of the ubb script. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh! I'm sorry!
