--------------------------------------------------------
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
Yes same here as well... this is a great mod for me... but I'm running VB3.6.8 - of course I could just throw caution to the wind and go for it like I usually do
I've been using it since vB 3.6.4 and it has continued to work for all versions. You just need to be careful when editing the forum files and use common sense as some of the code has changed slightly since this mod was written.
It would be great if someone could write a product for this mod. It would mean no more manual file edits were needed, and we could then update vB without needing to worry about then having to re-edit all of the files again.
Would anyone be interested in writing this as a product for 3.7? I can't understand why a Private Threads mod like this isn't more popular or needed on most forums. It is invaluable on mine.
I'm running it on an vBulletin 3.7 and it works fine.
I just have a problem because a registered user can't edit the thread-options when a reply has been postet. Is there any abillity that users can edit their thread options theirself?
