Good hack. I think Administrators need to be able to see it no matter what.

very nice hack.. works well and was easy to install.. shows off how much easier the HTL makes it for somewhat bigger hacks like this..

It doesn`t stop people from seeing the thread, just replying.. we`ve got this set for our poetry, story submission threads where some people are constantly flamed by the same people, just gives them a little control and might make them post more...

This is fantastic! I'll get alot of use for this in my RPG forums! Great idea! <3

Questions! Would Admins still have the ability to reply, even if they are not on the reply list? And are admins or mods able to edit who is on the reply list?

Very nice! :)

I second this and would like to know as well, but also, is it possible that only certain usergroups could get this privelage? Thank you.

Admins wouldn't be able to reply right away. Although because they can edit the thread they can add themselves to the allowed list and then reply.

Thanks. Also, I ran a test thread and can see the 3 options to allow, disallow, etc., but after hitting the edit thread to put who can or can't, it doesn't show me a form to enter the names. I'm sure I've installed everything right. Any suggestions?

Did you do the template edit completely? It should show a "Select users - Separate multiple users with a ;" and an input box to type

Can this be addd to the editpost if you are editing the first post in the thread?
