is there any way to see "ghost replies"?
What I mean by that is, sometimes someone deletes a post they made, is there any way you could edit the forum to keep those posts and allow the admin able to see the deleted post?
Same thing with edited posts. Is there any way you can modify it to allow the admin to see the post before it was edited? |

You could add a field to the FORUM_TOPICS, FORUM_REPLIES, FORUM_A_TOPICS and FORUM_A_REPLIES tables that is always set to 0. When a topic or reply is deleted, you don't delete it from the database, but the value is set to 1. Then on topic.asp you check the value of that field. Set to 0, then show the reply. Otherwise don't.
Then do the same for topics on forum.asp, active.asp, pop-profile.asp (and inc-profile.asp) and default.asp.
Quite an undertaking, but possible.
Saving edited posts means another field in those same tables that'll save the post before editing, and then put the new one in the regular field. Problem you'll find is when someone edits two or three times... what'll you do?  |

Oh, one thing... You should also make some changes to topic.asp to let admins & moderators view the topics, and to post.asp and post-info.asp to give admins & moderators the option to completely delete posts.
And you'll probably need a new page to view posts before they were edited, or modify topic.asp to display both the "before" and "after" to admins & moderators... lol |
