Subscribe to View Admin Posts
This is a vB 3.0.7 hack, where upon installing this hack, your users must subscribe to view a specified administrator's posts in the forums you specify. If a non-subscribed user views a post by said administrator, the user will see a "subscribe to view message" instead of the post. The way this works is that, if a user subscribes according to the vB subscription you set, the user will see said administrator's posts; otherwise the user sees the "subscribe to view" message. Make sure to read the following "things you need to know beforehand" section!
AS THIS IS AN 'AS-IS' HACK, MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THIS HACK. SUPPORT IS ONLY IF/AS TIME IS AVAILABLE, SO THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF SUPPORT! IF YOU INSTALL, SAY THANKS BY CLICKING THE INSTALL BUTTON.
You may not redistribute this hack without my permission!
