Is there anyway to exclude private threads from showing up in unread posts?

[Moya]

I haven't thought of that. I will work on it

Moya, another error when selecting "Find All Posts" on a users profile:

Your addon sounds pretty neat. Before I'll give it a try I have a question:

Can the thread starter later change his options so that you can add and remove members who can read or are not permitted to read the thread?

[viper357]

Will this work on 3.6.11?

[4x4 Mecca]

If I use this with the live post feed hack http://www.4x4mecca.com/forum/vaispy.php it shows the content of the post there. I know this other hack has nothing to do with you, but do you have any suggestions on how to get it not to show up there?

someone gets this error?

[Rene Kriest]

@rob01

Yep, I did. Just remove the PHP code that comes together with this add-on from archive/index.php. That's all.

Have a look at your error message which states

Script: http: //tustan.net/bbs/archive/index.php/t-36.html

How can I disable certain usergroups from being able to start a private thread?

Thank you
