The new release contains the code I suggested above. That should prevent simple users from seeing the notes. If that does not work for you, I do not know what to suggest, since I haven't checked your code yet.

I have one question about the way you modified the code for reducing the number of queries for the notes. How do you handle a post-specific note? I went through your replacements, but I am not sure I noticed how a post-specific note is handled. Admitedly, I haven't done the changes in the files, but from looking in your code, I didn't see that.

Post specific notes are handled by your original code - all I'm doing is, instead of doing a query per note, just cache everything first in an array with 1 query, and then do a foreach through the loop to get post specific notes. It's all still 1 query for an entire thread as opposed to 1 per post.

I did your changes, as suggested, and for some reason, post-specific notes do not appear.

I added a Private, non-post-specific note and it appeared OK.
Then I added a Private, post-specific one too, and only the first appears.

I am sure it is something trivial, and your idea to reduce the queries is a great one, but I do not have the time to look further into it. If you can solve the problem, let me know.
