Show Thread Enhancements - Thread Reader Enhancements

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This adds the following enhancements to the vB core Who has read a Thread feature.

1. Option to turn on the who read cutoff date (reset) function
2. Restrict use of reset function to certain usergroups.
3. Clicking on a user will display a page of their thread viewing history, most recent first.
4. Restrict the list of reader names to certain usergroups.
5. Restrict the list of recent threads a member has read to certain usergroups.

The set/reset facility allows members to click on the 'set' link which then sets a personal 'cutoff' time - only showing who has read the thread after that time.
The time can be reset as many times wanted, and also completely cleared again.

There is also a link to allow you to view a seperate list of all readers of the thread, this is where the ip will be shown [if you have permission].

Warning: When using the set/reset option - there is only a limited capacity of entries per thread (several thousand) - therefore you should only allow this feature to be used by a limited number of people - typically Staff usergroups. Allowing all members to use it will probably slow down your forum and cause errors if more than about 3000 members set a date on one thread.

Note: When using the set/reset facility, the data is still kept beyond this limit, so they can be changed at any time.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Thread Reader Enhancements

To install, download the zip, extract the XML file and import using the vb Product Manager.

This was resolved.

ok, now suggestion / question

is it possible to enable view "who has read thread (since)" for Thread author ?
if not, would be possible add it into "Thread Reader Enhancements" ?

was searching but can't find it so not sure if it's implemented in vB's core or not
