What is it?: A mod that will remove the edit, reply, and quote hyperlinks if the viewer of a thread does not have reply access to the forum the thread is in. <br /> <br />Instructions attached. Mad props to Astaran for helping me debug the script <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/peace.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Version 1.1 Removes the edit button on a post by post bassis in showflat view. <br /> <br />Update: A more complete mod to remove dead navigation links from all of UBB Threads can be found here.

I forgot my manners on this one: Props to Gardener for suggesting this mod while I was working on the article templates.

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/yay.gif" alt="" /> nice one <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I'd like to see this one make it's way into the official Threads release.

How do you get this to work if you have installed the Quick Reply hack?

I don't think it would make any difference, since the script for the buttons shouldn't be effected by the quick reply hack.<br /><br />If you want to know how to get rid of the quick reply box if someone doesn't have the right to post to a thread I can look into it for you.

I've got it figured out. Here is what I did, since I have Quick Reply installed.<br /><br />In showthreaded.tmpl I looked for:<br /><br />[]<br /><table border="0" class="tablesurround"><br /><tr><br /><td

I'd have to dig into postlist.php and figure out what variable to use for the check. Looking good on the quick reply <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Please see this mod. I've removed all of the possible dead links.
