Mod Name / Version: Don't delete posts with replies 1.0.0
Description: I've decided that allowing posts with replies to be deleted, and then replacing the post with "deleted" is a silly feature.
Here's a simple way to prevent posts with replies from being deleted. If someone wants to get rid of a post that has replies, he is forced to edit it instead, and hopefully leave an explanatory note. Or else he can contact a moderator or administrator to deal with it.

If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
