Can you give me the exact info about the loop? Exact URLs and exaxt links.

how do I force them to read an announcement

AWESOME! I was looking for a way to get my members to update their email addresses and this will work perfect. Thanks for doing this!

Great hack ! Thanks a lot.

i have vbadvanced in root and forum in /forum . so if i force users to read a forum's thread then in main page of site ( vbadvanced ) they will redirect to a wrong page ! ( root/showthread.php.... ) ! i tried to add a forum in the XML file , main page's link is ok now but if a user come to the forum he see will redirect to this > ..../forum/forum/.... !!

edit : i found another problem too . if u r using Recycle bin mod + this mod then u get an error when u want to move a thread to bin !! :(

any idea plz ?

This modification only works with users using Internet Explorer. Any member using Firefox will never experience the modification. I'm not sure what part of the code separates the two, but through extensive testing over multiple machines and networks, I've seen that Firefox doesn't support the mod.

Update?

Strange you say this m8, as FF is what I recommend all my members to use while viewing my board and I have NP's with this hack regardless if they are using IE or FF.

i get this problem as well, it doesn't respect the full path to the forum.

The link goes to http://forum.com/showthread.php?t=1
whereas it should go to http://forum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1

as per my forum settings.

Had to disable this, really hoping we can get a fix :)

i just edited the phrase, forceusersreadthread_read_thread and hardcoded the prefix.

**edit - which didn't work completely, sometimes it makes the link /vb/vb/showthread ...

Hoping for someone who knows what they are doing to help.

So, if 50 posts set must read, then others have to read 50 posts ???
