Force Users to Read a Thread 2.0


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.
  • Files edited: 0
  • Templates edited: 0
  • Files to upload: 2 (1 via ACP, 2 via FTP)
  • Time to install: 1 minute

Please post your comments or suggestions for this hack. I read ALL posts.

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL!
You will get an email when a new version is released.

vB 3.7.4

Info screen opens again and again, if you go to the forum for which the force read was set.

Unusable.

Can anyone help?
I guess there is no fix for this or it's a common problem???

I had recently upgraded by forum to 3.7.4 PL1

I have custom usergroups in my forum. When I mention Moderator Group to view a thread, I got to see both the Registered user and Moderator Group in the Admin CP. But I am sure I didn't select Registered user, and it comes by default.

Even I tried to add just the Registered User, and I could see twice Registered user in the Admin CP

Hope somebody can help me on this.

Thanks

Broken for me in vB3.7.4PL1, have uninstalled until it's fixed.

Something appears to be wrong with recording that a user has read a thread; users get stuck in a loop forced to read the thread over and over again.

Abe,

How about fixing this problem with people getting stuck in a loop having to read the same thread over and over.

Would be nice if you could at least respond.

I'll pay you if needed...
