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.

[6.2.3]

modifypost.php

Find:
-----

Code
// -------------------------------------------------<br />// Otherwise we are deleting the post so do this sub<br />   elseif ($peditdelete) {<br /><br />      if (!$user['U_Username']) {<br />         $html -> not_right ($ubbt_lang['NO_AUTH'],$Cat);<br />      }


Insert after:
-------------

Code
      $query = "<br />         SELECT COUNT(*)<br />            FROM  {$config['tbprefix']}Posts <br />            WHERE B_Parent = '$Number'<br />            AND   B_Board  = '$Board_q'<br />      ";<br />      $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br />      list($num_replies) = $dbh -> mysql_fetch_row($sth); <br />      $dbh -> finish_sth($sth);<br /><br />      if ($num_replies > 0) {<br />         $html -> not_right("You may not delete this post, because it has replies.",$Cat);<br />      }

Yeah, this is a confusing point in threads.

Thanks.
