Show Thread Enhancements - Thread Reader Enhancements

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This adds the following enhancements to the vB core Who has read a Thread feature.

1. Option to turn on the who read cutoff date (reset) function
2. Restrict use of reset function to certain usergroups.
3. Clicking on a user will display a page of their thread viewing history, most recent first.
4. Restrict the list of reader names to certain usergroups.
5. Restrict the list of recent threads a member has read to certain usergroups.

The set/reset facility allows members to click on the 'set' link which then sets a personal 'cutoff' time - only showing who has read the thread after that time.
The time can be reset as many times wanted, and also completely cleared again.

There is also a link to allow you to view a seperate list of all readers of the thread, this is where the ip will be shown [if you have permission].

Warning: When using the set/reset option - there is only a limited capacity of entries per thread (several thousand) - therefore you should only allow this feature to be used by a limited number of people - typically Staff usergroups. Allowing all members to use it will probably slow down your forum and cause errors if more than about 3000 members set a date on one thread.

Note: When using the set/reset facility, the data is still kept beyond this limit, so they can be changed at any time.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Thread Reader Enhancements

To install, download the zip, extract the XML file and import using the vb Product Manager.

Lovely, I always enjoy to see more advanced options to the core functions of vB.. Installed!

Though.. why didn't this include (such features) when the function was implemented?

I could not find any difference after installing this mod?

Hi Paul, thanks, works great. Can you perhaps add a collapse function please? You had that on the previous mod also.

[Paul M]

The built in 4.2 code in has a collapse function.
