Summary
This mod adds an option in the admin panel to disable the ability to change the subject of a topic when replying to that topic. This option can be accessed via Admin -> Forum -> Post and Topics.

Released for SMF 2.0
Enabled subject changing for all moderators (board moderators, global moderators)
Slight change of code.
Dropped SMF 1.1.x compatibility. DO NOT use this version for SMF 1.1.x

This is caused by another mod you have installed. Here are the changes you should make though.

Code (Find) Select

<input type="text" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ? '' : ' value="' . $context['subject'] . '"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="50" />


Code (Replace With) Select

// Disable Subject Change Mod.
if(isset($modSettings['disableSubjectChange']))
echo '

'&nbsp;' : '', '<input type="', $modSettings['disableSubjectChange'] ? !isset($context['num_replies']) ? 'text' : 'hidden' : 'text', '" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ?

Thank you for this, tyty1234.  I'm tired of my posters taking advantage of my senility by changing the subject and messing with my head.  This'll fix 'em! 

:D

My apologies, but I am taking a break from accepting PM requests for support.  If I am not currently assisting you, please do not ask as long as this notice is posted.  Thank you.

If anything goes wrong, just let me know. It shouldn't break your other mod. What mod is that btw?

This has been addressed to me by someone else, as the mod prevents everyone from changing the subject line.

wow .. this is not good  :-[ if that's the case this mod will slightly handicap things on my boards ...

Can you not make it so that it will only affect regular members ?

Right now, I am caught up with other things at the moment.
