Thread Reader Enhancements
 

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This adds the following enhancements to the vB core Who has read a Thread feature.

1. Option to turn on the who read cutoff date (reset) function
2. Restrict use of reset function to certain usergroups.
3. Clicking on a user will display a page of their thread viewing history, most recent first.
4. Restrict the list of reader names to certain usergroups.
5. Restrict the list of recent threads a member has read to certain usergroups.

The set/reset facility allows members to click on the 'set' link which then sets a personal 'cutoff' time - only showing who has read the thread after that time.
The time can be reset as many times wanted, and also completely cleared again.

There is also a link to allow you to view a seperate list of all readers of the thread, this is where the ip will be shown [if you have permission].

Warning: When using the set/reset option - there is only a limited capacity of entries per thread (several thousand) - therefore you should only allow this feature to be used by a limited number of people - typically Staff usergroups. Allowing all members to use it will probably slow down your forum and cause errors if more than about 3000 members set a date on one thread.

Note: When using the set/reset facility, the data is still kept beyond this limit, so they can be changed at any time.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Thread Reader Enhancements

To install, download the zip, extract the XML file and import using the vb Product Manager.

Lovely, I always enjoy to see more advanced options to the core functions of vB.. Installed!

Though.. why didn't this include (such features) when the function was implemented?

FYI
It appears that the options are here...Thread Reader Enhancements

Thank you Paul :)

Ha, forgot to edit that. Thx.

thanks paul.. it works ;)

I could not find any difference after installing this mod?
Where to check?
My VB is 4.20 only.

Hi Paul, thanks, works great. Can you perhaps add a collapse function please? You had that on the previous mod also.

The built in 4.2 code in has a collapse function.

And where is it then please?
