Perhaps display a list of threads that the users have to view before they can continue normal browsing. The way it is now, users may get frustrated or confused when there are multiple required reads, but they receive the same error message. When they see a list of "required read" threads, then they will at least know they have more than one and it shows which threads they have left to read.

Don't know if this was already suggested or not, but regardless, this is a great mod. :up:

that is a great idea

because i have members saying that they cant get past that message

they say after the view the thread they still get the need to read a thread message

so i basically have this mod disabled because i hate hearing all the complaints

if you can add that feature i will deffantly re install it and recomend it to others

i guess the last version doesn't work too well with vbadvanced, as i get a db error every time i go to the homepage, with in the homepage, the forumid is null (of course) and the database call is wich of course gives error

it can be solved adding 'adv_index' to the excluded scripts in the plugin located at global_setup_complete but, what for all the other 'non standard' scripts?

I've run into the exact same problem, but I didn't delete the tables in the db, I just disabled the hack. Apparently when you delete a thread the hack doesn't know it's deleted and the information isn't updated, causing a user to get stuck on the page forcing them to read the thread.

Hi, I need to know if is possible to force to read a diferent thread to diferents groups at the same time.
Example:
Usergroup Awaiting Moderation -> a thread about activation problem
Usergroup Affiliate --> a thread about quotas
Usergroup Registered -> a thread about how to affiliate in our club

Sorry for my english
Thanks

I marked it as installed, got one error and quickly backed out the template changes.

Thanks if anyone knows the answer.

Also in the drop down you can select to make users read this thread or to manage the thread viewing (expiry etc). Can we just have a simple remove force read for a thread that switches this off.

Also I made three to be viewed to see if on viewing on the user was forced to read a second and then a third in order. It seems this was so for the first two and the third was ignored. It this meant to be this way?

Many thanks :)

I run a small forum, gaming servers, with several subforums, for different games, but players from the other games, ain't really interested in the rules from a different game...

So, would it be possible to have a "YOU MUST READ" Sign or error, when you enter a specific forum only, and the thread will be in that forum too, users who don't access that part are left out...

Hope you understand what I mean :P

This was very easy to install. But I can't seem to get it work. I go to the setting and manage it and set it for uses in all locations, but yet it still works as if it is not set. If I go back to manage it, it is like nothing has been set. Like it did not save the settings.

suggestion: can u set time of how long they must stay on the thread, since my user just click the link and go on

It worked for me but the only problem is this.

when my members will try to enter their user name and password, they have 2 boxes to choose from to enter them the small normal one at the top and the other in the big box that come as vb mssage.

when i enter in the normal small one the message comes but it won't redirect to the thread it will have the /forums missing.

And when i enter in the user and pass in the vb message box in will work good

what do you think i should do??

Moderators have been using this too much and now any new user has to spend ages trying to get into the forum as he is continuously redirected to read a thread...really annoying.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

If I'm not mistaken, I think he's talking about the loging page that comes up when you try to view an area that requires you to be logged in to access, and the login box in the navbar. When they login from the navbar, it doesn't always redirect to the thread.
