Fab idea - But when I install it if there is more than one page of posts in the thread if I click on the "Go to last post" icon I get a blank page rather than any message. It kinda makes the forum look like it's broken rather than your not allowed to see anything.

I am going to try again today..
on 1.2 I was having pm issues.
Ill try the new version today and let yall know.
I know this is gonna be a good hack.

well i dont see that it does a darn thing.
If I log off, and dont log back in, I can read all the posts as any guest could do.
What does this thing do, or what am i doing wrong if anything?

With the version I installed you have to enable it on a per forum basis in Forum Manager - HTH

let me try that.
well... im not seeing anything in the forum manager to enable it..
Is it in a usergroup setting?
I installed latest version of the hack...1.4

im not seeing anything under acp options, or user group settings...
Sounds like the author needs to make a setting in acp options where the mod can be turned off and on..
I guess we can always turn the view threads "off" under unregistered/logged off user group setting.
Still here, and waiting..

Forums and Moderators->Forum Manager->Choose "Edit Forum" from the drop down for one of your forums and click "Go".

Then at the bottom you get:

There doesn't appear to be any global on or off setting

i see it now.
Thanks.
Its just in kinda of a odd place, and I did not see it in the install instructions how to get to it.
But its there.
Thanks bud!

It's working fine for me though. Anyone else having this problem?

If you think about it, it's not really in an odd place
