vB 3.7 version of this hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=172155
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.
Version 2.0 (03/05/08):
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. Pictures:

I just installed this and it's a great mod. Here's one suggestion, however:
Perhaps display a list of threads that the users have to view before they can continue normal browsing. The way it is now, users may get frustrated or confused when there are multiple required reads, but they receive the same error message. When they see a list of "required read" threads, then they will at least know they have more than one and it shows which threads they have left to read. Don't know if this was already suggested or not, but regardless, this is a great mod. :up: |

i guess the last version doesn't work too well with vbadvanced, as i get a db error every time i go to the homepage, with
Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7: Invalid SQL: SELECT force_read_thread.force_read_threadid AS threadid FROM force_read_thread AS force_read_thread LEFT JOIN force_read_read AS force_read_read ON (force_read_thread.force_read_threadid = force_read_read.force_read_threadid AND force_read_read.force_read_userid = '39') WHERE force_read_read.force_read_userid IS NULL AND force_read_thread.force_read_usergroupid IN (0,2) AND (force_read_thread.expire_date = 0 OR force_read_thread.expire_date > '1191109471') AND ( force_read_thread.force_read_forumid IN () OR force_read_thread.force_read_forumid = 0 AND (force_read_thread.force_read_location = 0 OR force_read_thread.force_read_location & 1) ); MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') OR force_read_thread.force_read_forumid = 0 AND (force_read_thread.forc' at line 9 Error Number : 1064 Date : Saturday, September 29th 2007 @ 07:44:32 PM Script : 'homepage' Referrer : IP Address : **.**.**.** Username : ******** Classname : *********** Code:
force_read_thread.force_read_forumid IN () it can be solved adding 'adv_index' to the excluded scripts in the plugin located at global_setup_complete but, what for all the other 'non standard' scripts? |

The upgrade didn't work for me, it now malfunctions and the page stays locked on the message page, clicking the link doesn't take you to the thread, just stays on the same message page , we were all effectively locked out of the forum until we disabled the feature.

It says that using the forum settings overrides the above settings. Does that include the usergroup settings or is it just the other location settings?
