PasswordHack for v2.2.1 English

You can make a board password protected with this hack.
You can insert the password here:

Forums and Moderators
--> modify
---> choose a board

suggestion for the final:

- unsubscribe a access to a password protected board

fixed:

- no matches in the searchengine if a board is protected
- fixed the new topic bug.

And all this for free (somebody told me he want to pay, but all my hacks are for free)

Sorry for my english

update 7th December 2001
fixed the bug in the profile of a member.
if you downloaded this hack before see below to update.

Question sir, if its an option it would be great to have Admin, Super Mod, and the current Mod of the forum to have access to change the PW of the forum when they want.

[Afterburner]

The Mod, and SuperMod (Admins has still access to the CP) have to have access to the CP.

To change the PW go in the CP to the forum, inser 0 (zero) and klick save to remove the acces of all users, the go again to this forum and insert a new password

does this work with 2.2.6?

[Afterburner]

yes its works in 2.2.6

or wait for vB 3 there is a password protection included

[[D]Vincent]

I don't know if anyone pointed this out yet or not but one of my members told me that if someone is veiwing a thread in the password protected forum and it shows up online then you can go to the thread from there without having to use the password.

Works on 2.2.7, thanks.

Well, I just couldn't wait for vb3, so I installed this today and it's working GREAT on 2.2.8!!!

It was very easy to install, took only 10 minutes. It's a very solid hack, not alot of flaws in it! One of the flaws, as mentioned above, is the online.php file. If someone is viewing a thread in a private forum, someone can see them doing this on online.php and go to that thread. But luckily, you can disable online.php I wouldn't use this hack if you have top secret information, as it's pretty easy to crack, but 99% of users won't beable to get in to the private forums, which is good enough for me!

Great hack afterburner and tyvm!!!
