Cool hack but can "This hack added one query to every page on your forum a member goes to." this one query be eliminated with a code change somehow?

I seem to be having an issue with this now since the upgrade. When we select a thread to force users to read, and when the member clicks the thread they are being required to read, it doesn't take them to the thread. Instead it just stays on the message telling them there is a message for them to read.

I'm not sure if this issue is due to the recent upgrade or because I had 2 threads selected for members to read.

This hack HERE is not working since I installed your hack :(

Is there anyway to have it working?

Thanks for any help :)

Nice trick to force new members to read rules, I need to test this soon.

If I had an easy way, I would have done it. It is not a big query and runs fast. All parts of it are indexed.
No clue. It should not affect the other. If you read one, then the other should not bother him until he has read the first one.
Can you tell me what does not work or have a fix for it. I dont ready want to start playing around with someone else's hack. Maybe try changing the order in which plug-ins run.

Suggestion:

I have the welcome thread mod installed that creates a new welcome thread when a new user registers... it would be interresting to have that new user to be unable to view anything else until they few the welcome thread created for them.

You want this hack to go down to the user option on who has to view a thread.

You are better off with a new hack made just for it. I do create custom hacks for users for a price. I have an idea on where to start.

doesn't appear to work with vbadvanced even though the settings are set correctly. Please advise.

You have to elaborate what does not work. The whole hack? The force reading? Just be more clear.

If I think you mean the force reading part, vbadvanced does not use global.php unfortunately.

Awesome idea.
