I did the following quick fix on my board a while back and it works perfectly.

Just edit Display.php

<search for>
                print "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=modify;msg=$mid;threadid=$viewnum;start=$start\">$img[modify]</a>$menusep<a href=\"javascript:DoConfirm('$txt[154]?','$cgi;action=modify2;threadid=$viewnum;msg=$mid;d=1;start=$start');\">$img[delete]</a>";
      print "</font>";
</search for>

<replace>
                print "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=modify;msg=$mid;threadid=$viewnum;start=$start\">$img[modify]</a>";
                if(in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator')
                print "$menusep<a href=\"javascript:DoConfirm('$txt[154]?','$cgi;action=modify2;threadid=$viewnum;msg=$mid;d=1;start=$start');\">$img[delete]</a>";
      print "</font>";
</replace>

This allows Admins, Global Mods and Forum Mods only to delete posts.  Nothing else needed.  The delete button is removed for all other members.

if the deletebutton isn't visible, you can type in your address-bar the following URL:
http://ADDRESS/TO/YOUR/BOARD/index.php?board=BOARDID;action=modify2;threadid=THREAID;msg=MSGID;d=1;start=0
with my mod, even that isn't possible

Fair enough.

[Gobalopper]

This doesn't allow them to edit their posts though. Or is that supposed to happen?

what you are saying is pretty clear, i have change it thanx

[lbyard]

Good.  Simple and good enough for me.  Now I need one that stops normal users from modifying posts after a given period of time as determined by a forum setting, but does not stop the admin from modifying one for an indefinte period (vacations, etc.).  Larry
