Force Users to Read a Thread

Click here to Nominate this Mod for Mod the Month

About this hack:
This hack allows you to set a thread as 'must read' by your members. Right now, if you make a post and want all your members to read it, you have no way of enforcing it. This hack will give an error message similar to the one you get when you need to change you password, saying that the admins want you to read a certain thread before they continue using the forum.

Once a user reads a thread, they wont be bugged to read it again.

You can set all usergroups or just certain onces that must read a thread.

You can set to site wide or just some forums.

Option to Force Guests

This hack added one query to every page on your forum a member goes to.

So what's not working on mine? It's just a simple, straightforward 4.2 install.

can you make it so this will work with the modCP to please, works great for admins but we have ranks in our large guild and Sgt's are supermoderators but they only have access to the ModCP so we need them to be able to use this hack '

thanks

Installed on 4.2, so far no issues!! I have also tested it and again so far no issues!!

Is there a way to allow moderators to initiate force read thread? At the moment only Admins can do this if I am not mistaken.

Since the coder of this mod Abe1 didn't come on from past 2 years.... isn't there a way that any other coder can modify this or if someone can update this for 4.2 ??? I think it will be appreciated by a lot of users

Thanks
