Please be aware, this is Not an update to the Redirect Thread to URL mod from h2ojunkie that you must be referring to, unfortunately. So it doesn't specifically reproduce any feature from there other than the idea alone of a thread that acts as an external link.

And no, currently there is no usergroup permission control over the usage of this option, I will however consider it for the next version release, thanks for the suggestion.

You can choose to open custom thread links in a new window regardless if they are redirects or directly linking to external URLs.

Not too sure I know what you mean. vBulletin 4.0 does not have a separation bar between featured and regular threads. Are you perhaps using a mod to add that feature?

It won't work, but no need to panic, all you probably need to do is take a look at the "thread" table and rename the field containing thread url's to "link". Let me know if you need assistance with that, I'll give you a hand.
