Awesome! It almost fits what I need now! Could you add an option though that if your not a admin or involved in the dispute you can't see the thread at all. Basically I need a forum unviewable but instead of viewable via usergroup permission, it is viewable on a thread by thread basis in that forum based on if your involved in that dispute.

Will for sure nominate for MotM if you can get that to do this!

This is absolutely a brilliant concept ....install tomorrow!!!! thanks Mawby another top mod this...great ...tag for tonight

What a brilliant idea! Brilliant work mawby!

I asked for this mod about 3 years ago or so for my debate site. Good to see that it has become a reality as I knew I couldn't be the only person who could use it. However...while it is a brilliant mod and will be quite useful for many boards...it's a little late for me as I'm migrating from VB.

Kudo's on the great hack though man. About time something like this came along. IMO...it should be standard feature in vb.

If you ever make a switch to XF pm me. I'd be willing to pay for this mod. ;)

Tagged and will give some feedback.

This looks like a great mod!!!

Thanks

Anyone with moderator rights over the forum can view/reply to the threads as normal. This is needed for my site where the moderators occasionally need to get involved in trying to progress a dispute.

I have updated the product so it is now possible to configure it to run in "Extra Privacy" mode. This extends the "Private Dispute" functionality to also prevent those not in the dispute from being able to see the thread exists.

Ironically I first wrote this for my site back in January 2007! It's only because vB4 has forced me to review/rewrite most of my site's code that I decided to put in the extra effort to do it properly as products and release them into the community.

Thanks! *Clicks MotM*

Installed & Nominated for MOTM.

I have updated the product to include a new feature. Now when entering the list of users being disputed an auto-suggest pop-up will appear just the same as it does when sending a PM.

A consequence of this change means you now need to separate the names with a semi-colon instead of a comma.

Hopefully people will find it more user friendly like this. :)

Interesting mod. Could be very useful for our site. Some additional questions:

• Does the complaining member need to create a thread in the dispute forum? (and if yes, how do you communicate this at your site)
• Is it possible to move an existing thread in a non-dispute forum to the special dispute forum? What happens after the move? Does an admin or mod need to update the thread to add all parties involved?

In other words, could you please give a little background how this mod currently works at your site? How do you get your members to actually use the dispute forum?
