Try changing the order of the plugins, as I'm certain this is causing the problem. I, too, have thread prefixes running alongside Private Threads.

isn't this something that vBulletin already does? I know i have private password protected forums..

This is not password protected, this allows the poster of a thread, in this case a mod and up the ability to restrict who can post and read said thread.

pardon my ignorance but how do I change the order of the plugins? :confused: i don't see a place in here for reordering? :\

Well aside from removing it and putting it back the only other method is to find the file the edit is in and then add the code you want directly before it, saddly it lacks a plugins less code dits feature, but it is not a standard vB feature to change the order of plugins as far as I can recall.

Possibly a future vB update?

i tried the delete it, reinstall it technique with no luck...so i disabled Thread Prefixes for now. Your hack is far more useful ;)

Also, will it ever be possible to change a thread that's already been created into a private thread? right now i make the changes under Edit Thread but they won't stick. Or is this a bug and I've screwed up again? ;)

hmm... I am not getting this error either. Is your system heavily hacked, because if it is you may have to end up moving the plugins into file edits to make it the most compatible. If you'd ever like help with that just drop me a PM and I can figure it into my sced.

this will come in handy, thanks.

How is this currently working for 3.5.4?

It is working well, We have noticed few to no errors.

I have been busy with new endevors and have but this on the side burner a bit, anyone watching our forums will know we have been busy in many other places and facets. However I have not forgotten about this and I will be making updates in the near future. Really th only two cruxxes are,

• It shows the thread in newest post on forumhome/display
• They take up room on the forumdisplay even though the user can't see them.

The first issue is not so serious in my opinion and is a small change. The bigger issue is the second point which would involve making the query skip private threads a user can't see. This would mean an advanced query and I havn't had time to play with such. However I am shure it is possible by all means.

Once those two issues are solved it is prestine and ready to go as a full hack. However if those two things don't bother you much then it is a non-issue and your set to install!
