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
Hack History:
Version 1.0.6
Changed several file edits to plugins (Thank you waza)
Some plugins were reverted back to file edits, no version change as it is going a bit backward
I tried to install this on Ver. 3.6.4 but found I couldn't edit threads; I just get a blank page. I realize this mod wasn't intended for 3.6.4, but any ideas on how to fix this until the next version comes out would be appreciated.
I am not sure why it would make your template go blank other then it is causing an error and you have php errors turned off, check your error log from cpanel to see what the error is.
As to the 3.6.4 edition, as things currently stand I am having issues optimizing a piece of it and until thats complete it won't release, as well it is not my top priority currently as other things have come up related to the site I co-own. It has the option to block users if I recall right, its one of the 3 or 4th options, if not i'll make shure to make that part of the next release.

Do you have any idea on when you expect to release Private Threads Redux?
