This is a copy of the admin/moderator functions. Obviously not much use without the cgi scripts but it shows how hidden everything is.

If you copy the source from your own page and post it into dreamweaver, frontpage, or notepad,  you'll see it's all done by msg ID and member #.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body><div align='left' style='float:left;width:auto'> <form method='POST' style='display:inline' name='modform' action='http://s89291739.onlinehome.us/forum/index.php?'> <input type='hidden' name='t' value='35' /> <input type='hidden' name='f' value='10' /> <input type='hidden' name='st' value='' /> <input type='hidden' name='auth_key' value='8b622c74f23f8c941bc625b855a7f0b2' /> <input type='hidden' name='act' value='Mod' /> <select name='CODE' class='forminput' style="font-weight:bold;color:red"> <option value='-1' style='color:black'>Moderation Options</option> <option value='02'>Move this topic</option><option value='00'>Close this topic</option><option value='03'>Delete this topic</option><option value='05'>Edit Topic Title</option><option value='15'>Pin this Topic</option><option value='30'>Unsubscribe all from topic</option><option value='60'>Merge Topic</option><option value='50'>Split Topic</option><option value='90'>View Topic History (Admin Option)</option> </select> <input type='submit' value='Go' class='forminput' /></form> </div> </body> </html>

Those are the post-specific mod functions. Name changes are done via the Admin CP.

If you're really interested in it, you could download the IPB system itself and look at those scripts.

edit: @bigboab: exactly. As I said, that's why we were considering a move to something like phpBB. IPB just isn't made for massive forums.
I've PMed 7thElement about this, because it's now bugging me what the problem is - I'm not 100% sure about the QUOTE tags, although it's still my best guess.

With luck he will be able to clarify.

Actually that is not true, when you change a name if you go looking for older posts where he has been quoted, the quote appears with the former name, not with the new one.

You sure? Can you provide an example?

If so then I don't know exactly what it is that needs updated.

For instance, in my board I had a member by the name of Ertai, the corrupted, I changed his name to Frodo on december 17th...

However on the posts that he was quoted prior to december 17th he appears as Ertai, the corrupted:

Very good Liam, now you translate that into plain english for me line by line. Then I will know that you know what you are talking about.

Well, I guess my assumption about the QUOTE tags is wrong then.

You realise this is going to bug me now? :rolleyes:

Hopefully 7thElement will provide clarification.

@bigboab: which bit do you want translated?
