Oh how I wish we were done. Unfortunately we must make a template edit (I know, I hate them too).


Kod:
The template is called board_inactive_warning.  Replace $vbphrase[alert_board_off]  with  $vbphrase[alert_board_off] ($icr)  The entire template should end up looking like this:  <div align="center" style="color: red; background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; padding:2px">$vbphrase[alert_board_off] ($icr)</div>
And you're done!

You can edit the internal message on the same page that you close the forums and set a public reason/message.
