I guess, in case of password change, it should 'expire' or become ineffective... Is it true ?

Sorry. What about the direct-post access as above ? Bulk forum permissions, the only ones acts a post-level, don't know the existence of the password... so they shouldn't stop these accesses. I think this hack should affect even other scripts as said above.... do you agree ?

Thanks again

Sorry I am very confused
showthread.php and newthread.php are already insoved in my hack

maybe we shall wait for vB3.0 with has an orginal passwort protection included (I think)

Yes. I added the check to printthread.php ... :D

Starting your great idea and implementation way, I made some modifies (for example, added the md5-hashed pw to the userfield instead of a on/off flag, so I could re-check each time the update of the pw, or a text entry field directly on lastpost template to input the password if none... hiding the thread infos... and so on);
and finally managed to make this major hack working perfectly...

I applied pw on a private forum (I know, it's virtually unuseful! ;) ) but on the other hand is very very proficious on the psicological / security perception matter.
Great!
Thanks again.
Bye

Afterburner, can I release a version of this with the style css attributes and 'perfect' English? I might also edit the installer.

OK release a version with a "perfect" english ;) sorry for my terrible english *g*

What do you want to edit in the installation file ?
