No support by the author.

This modification will allow you to setup a forum where members can post threads that only their buddies can see and participate in. This may be a good addition for social network type forums.

Features:
- Turns one forum into a Buddy Forum.
- Only members on the thread starter's buddy list can see or reply to the message.
- Prevents Users from Subscribing to Forums or Threads in Buddy List, which would allow them to bypass the buddy permissions.
- Displays "Private" and zeros post and reply count in forum view for Buddy Forum.
- Admin can configure usergroups that can see all messages for moderation purposes.

Prerequisites:
vBulletin 3.6.6 or newer

Installation Instructions:
- 1 XML upload

1. Use the Product Manager to import the product file product-rah_buddyforums_1_0_0.xml.
2. Setup a new forum. Configure it as follows:
- Set "Index New Posts in Search Engine" to No. (If you don't do this, then members will be able to see the contents of messages that they shouldn't)
- Set the forum permissions for non-moderator groups to NOT be able to search the forum.
3. Open the "Buddy Forums" option group in the vBulletin Options, and set the "Buddy Forum ID" to the forum ID you just created.


Revision Log:
1.0.0 - 08/29/07 - Initial Release

Known Bugs:

My members noticed this:

BTW, if you put your cursor over the title of someone's "secret" buddy thread, you can view what the first post says! Not as private as you thought, huh?!
Can this be fixed?

Also, I allowed my super mods, later removed their gid, but they still have access to all threads.

Popowich,

They should be seeing the thread at all to be able to hover over it. Where is this happening - on the forum home or in the forum display?

My first post after some research is not a problem with this product.

They are getting the info from the "unread posts" product.

I suppose that can't be fixed since it's a separate feature.

My second post still seems to be a problem.

What is the correct way to deny access to my super mods?

Forgot my *installed* yesterday, done, thanks!
