Force Users to Read a Thread



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.

This sounds like exactly what we are looking for! Can you force it to read and reply to one thread and then a second one right after it?

It didn't work with my site using VB 4.2 PL3.

I went to the "Add Thread" screen, added the thread and the usergroups, saved it, and it wasn't on the list of saved threads.

No good.
