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.

Well, when I add a thread to be force viewed, once I click the OK button in the Admin CP, it doesn't seem to add it to the list of threads that are to be force viewed. If that makes any sense. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

How do I get the thread ID if threads don't display an ID? I have advanced friendly URL's enabled.
