I have been looking for something like this with a little DIFFERNT twist to it.
I do not know about you but I am TIRED of people NOT reading rules or important annoucements etc. What I would LOVE to have is a way to FORCE Everyone to read a certain message no matter what they are doing.
Users are logged in, I create a NEW Rule or Message that I want EVERYONE to read. As soon as I create the RULE etc I would like to be able to FORCE EVERYONE to read it before they can PROCEED viewing forums etc. So say a member is reading a POST, I create a NEW RULE and choose FORCE READ. When those members click anything else in the forum it auto POPS up NEW message with the NEW RULE etc I just made.
The ONLY way I thought this would work right is to FORCE CLEAR ALL cookies (FORECE LOGOUT) for the Forum so that the message would Appear as soon as they logged back in they would have to CLICK a button on message to continue, even possibly the ADMINS can set how LONG they must READ it BEFORE they can continue.
Can you do this? This would be of great benefit, it would allow Forums to KNOW that EVERYONE got the NEWS or NEW RULES. People would no longer have an excuse well I didn't know, I didn't see the new rules etc. I know for me this would be of GREAT help
