thanks a lot!

If a thread is closed in a forum, will that allow a user to post another thread? For example, I wish to limit my users to ONE thread in a certain forum on a permanent basis, but I would like to give them the option to create another if they close their old one. Possible somehow?

Thanks :)

Hi,

I would like to limit the amount of threads a user can post in a forum in 24hrs. Is this what this hack does? Or does limit all posts regardless?

Also, does work on vB 3.7.4 Patch Level 1?

Thanks

Hello,

Does this mod do any database changes?

Yes, that's exactly the type of thing this mod does. AFAIK it works with the latest version.
No, the database is not modified.

How can i make this hack work only per Forum ???

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. You mean only have a throttle for one of the forums on your board?

thank you for your reply

i want to doit for certain forum in my board without usergroup permission

ie: i set in the forum and it affect all usergroups

it is easier because i have alot of usergroups

thanks

Ah I see! No, sorry right now you have to pick a usergroup and a forum. I understand what you are saying. Let me look at the code (been a long time since I've done that!) to see if I can make that modification.

Dear CyberRanger: How about being able to set the throttle by THREAD? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/01/1.gif

You see, I have a sub-forum in which I need to have the following rules:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/11/2.gif Regular members: Can start up to 3 (three) threads in each 3 (three) months, AND can ONLY post (reply) into each thread 1 (one) time in each 2 (two) weeks. (or 15 days)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/11/2.gif Super members: Can start up to 8 (eight) threads in each 3 (three) months AND can ONLY post (reply) into each thread 1 (one) time in each 2 (two) weeks. (or 15 days)

( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/3.gif note: no one but the original thread starter can reply on the thread, so each thread starter is the 'owner' of that thread)


:up: So, with your hack, I already can restrict users from STARTING the 'x' number of threads (3 to regular members and 8 to super members), that is just plain PERFECT! :up: It works perfectly with the sub-forums that I assigned to the throttle, as your hack is just perfect on that! :p



The Problem: I just can't restrict members to reply ONLY ONE TIME on each of the stared threads... :confused: :(

- Regular members have started 3 threads and SHOULD only reply one time for each 15 days on EACH started thread...

- Super members have started 8 threads and SHOULD only reply one time for each 15 days on EACH started thread...



What I would like to ask you, please, would be the ability to set a throttle in order to restrict thread starters from replying to the threads (in that given sub-forum - not all forums on my board) more than X times in a specific time period (in my case, it would be 15 days...)




Thank you so very much for your time, your work and your skills, and please forgive my bad english as portuguese is my primary language... ;)
