Hello,

We are looking for an add-on that make replies only viewable by the thread starter, mods/admins and users who reply can see only the first post and their own post ofcourse.

Is this already available?

You can do this simply by modifying the options under forum permissions in the admincp

Really? I will check this out right now. TNX!

EDIT: I can't see the options I need there. Am I blind? :)
There is one option but it does not what we want. Everybody must be able to see the first post and their own posts. The thread starter must be able to see all posts.

To do this go to Forums and Moderators then click on Manage Permissions, and on your board you can click on the user group and set the permissions

Thanks but I know this function as a multiple vB owner for years obviously (Join Date: 31. Oct 2001). The problem is these options don't provide what I want.

what is it exactly what you want to do?

i have managed to do this with success using the forum permissions, i simply set NO to others can view this thread and it works!

Why not add a section and have it password protected :)

I'm pretty sure you can't do the bold bit with vb permissions ;
