vBPrivate Threads

This hack has been ported to vBulletin 3.5.4 from the vBulletin 3.0.0 version with permission granted by:

"You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission"

in Kentaurus's post for its original release, found here

--------------------------------------------------------
This is my first major ported and released hack for vB.
--------------------------------------------------------

With this Code Modification you can add private threads to your forums. A private thread is:

• A thread that some users or usergroups can view. Others cannot.
• A thread that some users or usergroups cannot view. All others can.

Using this Modification, any user in a forum that has Private Threads turned on may create a private thread. It is useful for holding private moderator conversations, or for making a thread private when some users would like to see the discussion closed and others want it to continue.

Future Plans:

• Add Super Moderators and Moderators to override the standard permissions
• Admin Options for allowed private thread types
• Admin Options to define users with override-permissions privilages
• Admin Options for those who can make private threads
• Private Threads will NOT show in the lastpost column when user does not have access to thread
• Creator can view thread by default

If it does get released it probably will not be till well into the summer at this point, this hack has dropped to the bottom of my list in priority due to other factors in my life and my own websites needs. It will come out eventually, but until such a time you may find it more time efficient to pay someone to do it for you, even if its just a port to work with 3.6

3.6.6?

For all those users who have problems with limiting a thread to certain usergroups: the key is that you musn't enter the usergroupid - you have to enter the title of the usergroup! When you do this, the thread is only viewable to this usergroup(s). Just to let you know this...

Has this been updated for vB 3.6.8? I saw that there was some testing with 3.6.7, but it's unclear whether it worked.
