How much does it takes to install it?
Could it be remade as an add-on for a shoutbox, to replace the private room system?

thank Kentaurus, good job :)

Took me 10mins, Great hack ;)

Can I set this functionality in the Forum Permissions? I may use it, but only in some Forums.

forum restriction are to be defined in your admincp indeed
this counts for a single post you make, even in a forum with full public access...

check it out ;)

Right now any user in any forum can use completely private threads. Right now there is no way to disabled private threads in specific forums.

Is it possible to only allow this option to certain usergroups?

Hello, and thanks for tackling this! I have wanted a system muh like this to replace PMs all together. More functionality, but you got the gist right here.

Anyway, my question is this: If USER_A only allows USER_B to view the thread, can USER_A still read it? Or if a member of GROUP_1 makes it so only GROUP_2 can read it, is it then possible for him to read it? I mean....they did write it, so it would be sort of silly to block themself.

One ever so slight problem I have with this is a private thread still shows on the forumhome if it is the last post in a forum.. people cannot view it but they know it is there and so I`m getting complaints, anyway to block it from the forumhome as well as everywhere else?

*bumping thread*
as I wonder the same question as Giveit2u43

I need to get the thread of forumhome...
