Hi, installed this with the username mods and it seems to work nicely. Thanks.

Just wondering if it would be possible to insist the private debate field is filled in and valid? Reason for asking is we use it for a disputes forum between our members and traders and this is an ideal mod as it prevents everyone else getting involved. However until the private debates field is populated the thread can be replied to by anyone which isn't so good.

Anyway to get this to exclude certain users? I have some users who create threads and would like to exclude a user or two from viewing these threads.

There was a vbprivate threads hack but it doesn't work with 3.6.0...

Just a thought.

How can I have the options when I edit a first-post of a thread . We have some old threads that we moderate it manually . I wish to edit the options but there is not exist.

Great idea, and nice mod.

There's one thing I'd like to do, though - I'd like to make a single user able to invite users to a thread without making that user a moderator. I thought I could do this using conditionals, but since the template is within the mod tools menu, I can't. Is there a quick and dirty way to do this? I'm only thinking of making one user able to do this, so could it possibly be done with a userid=87 or whichever statement?

Nice hack, installed and uninstalled.

Sorry but i need the possibility of translations.

Is it possible to set this up so that ONLY the people you add can participate and not all Forum Admins?

If I wanted to say use this for peer mediation and didn't want prying eyes outside the 3-4 people that needed to see it?

Anyway of hiding thread content so that only Member's authorised can view content & reply?

What if, only the members and admins and mods can see the thread.. If you don't belong to the debate, then you don't see the thread..?

Thats exactly what I would like to see implemented. Would act much like the vbPrivate Threads mod worked for 3.5. As this mod isn't supported I guess this modification wont happen.
