Hi Paul , are considering my suggestion :(

Sorry, no, I wont be doing that in the forseeable future.

Hi Paul .... :)

Just updated our site from 4.04pl1 to 4.1.3 and then updated ALL your mods accordingly ... :up:

We're now running 4.1.2 of this mod and I started receiving emails from members that they can no longer view who has read a thread that they started? They now get a message saying that they aren't permitted to view the list of names. (see pic)

I went to the AdminCP and checked, but I have the "Allow Thread Author" box (If set to yes then this allows the thread creator to see the who has read display whatever usergroup they are in.) set to YES, so I'm not sure what the problem is that has changed?

Way back in the earlier version, I had that problem with Google CSE displaying private threads which you verified was a bug and then you had me make an EDIT change to the XML file to fix that, as I wasn't able to update to a more current version of this mod because I was still stuck with 4.04. I only mention it as I wasn't sure if that's a factor in this problem, but I doubt it as I assume the importing of 4.1.2 contained all the fixes necessary?

The authors of the threads are also a members of usergroups which are not checked off with permissions to see the list of names, but that wouldn't be a problem would it?

Any help would be appreciated ... :up:

Doug

That would be exactly the reason.

"Allow Thread Author" only allows them to see the actual box - if they dont have names permission then they still wont see the names.

Gotcha ... :)

For whatever reason, these folks who have been complaining are thread starters (authors), who no not belong to the selected user groups, but claim with the previous version of this mod under 4.04 of vBulletin, were able to read the user name list.

Being an Admin myself and part of user groups allowed to view the list, as well as click on names for more info, I've never had an issue with either this version, or the old version.

I'll go back and check the user group options again and see if I can somehow permit the thread starters to see more than just the box by adding them to a user group.

Thanks Paul ... :)

Names permission was only added in the last version (4.1.2).

I've installed this mod, thank you for it, I have set Days Limit to 0 but its only showing the last 7 days or so, should it be showing from the start of the thread or will it be only the last few days because I've only just installed it? I'm running the latest vb4.14.
