This is exactly what I needed to force my lazy customers to read about new releases, critical bugz, etc. THANKS!!! A very clever idea.

Is it possible to allow certain forums to trigger an alert? I want certain members to view specific rules before they proceed.

No option for that yet. Right now it is all or nothing.

Great Hack Abe1!! :up:

It'd be Great that in Future Versions of it you could include a List of the Forums that are being Forced to Read by Users!! ;)

It'd be Great too to Manage a Cookie Based Control for Guests for them to be forced to Read the Threads Too?? (In this Version Guests are not Being forced to Read a Thread). (Sometimes is Very Important to Show Guests the Rules of the Forums, and the Guides to Navigate in Them and Use Them, and Forcing them to Read a Thread or Threads could be a Great Idea) ;)

I hope you could Implement those little Ideas Abe1!! :p :up:

My Best Regards To You!! ;)

:)

Great idea, Abe1! I love it! I am also a happy user of your Forms Hack.

Would there be any way to integrate this with that one? To force users to go to the form before doing anything else? I'd love it if that were possible.

haha, what a great fukin idea!

And the good news is, Abe1 wrote both of 'em, so if there's anyone out there that can integrate them, he's the one. :) :)

Both are on my list now.
Dont think I'll do it right now. Try my edit new thread button if you want them to use the form to create a new thread.

Great hack, simple implementation. Much appreciated buddy!

Can this be used in different ways? By this I mean, lets say that I have a a forum with several boards on it such as "Join the Clan" and "lobby" Could it be set to make users read the forced topic only if they try to go into the "join the clan" area? and allow them not to have to read it if they just go to the "lobby" area?
