Hi Alex,

I just noticed that if I delete a particular post within a thread, all the posts that are below the one that is being deleted will be erased as well.

For example, there are 5 individual posts in a thread. Post #1, Post #2, Post #3, Post #4, Post #5.

Right now if i delete post #3, then both post #4 and post #5 will be deleted as well.

Is there a way to configure the script so that if post #3 is deleted, then somehow post #4 and #5 will still remain on the board ?


This is important, I hope there is a way to do that.

Can we put the deleted post in HIDE or HIDDEN mode so that the post still remains in the thread, but nobody can see it, hence it does not disrupt the natural flow of the thread ? I think this is how some forum softwares are coded to do. They simply make the "deleted" post as a hidden post so that people cannot see the post on the board even though it's still there. Would that work ?


thanks
