vB 3.7 version of this hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=172155


Force Users to Read a Thread 2.0


About this hack:
This hack allows you to set a thread as 'must read' by your members. Right now, if you make a post and want all your members to read it, you have no way of enforcing it. This hack will give an error message similar to the one you get when you need to change you password, saying that the admins want you to read a certain thread before they continue using the forum.

Once a user reads a thread, they wont be bugged to read it again.

You can set all usergroups or just certain onces that must read a thread.

You can set to site wide or just some forums.

Option to Force Guests

This hack added one query to every page on your forum a member goes to.

I dont know. You can try it out.

You can have more then one redirect at a time. They will just go from one to the next.

not working for me ...3.6.4 installed.

The redirect doesn't work at all, it doesn't force people to read it after i select "Manage...." then select "All usergroups" ...
