Forum Display Enhancements - Users can see own moderated threads prior to approval

On my forum, to prevent spam, threads from new users are checked for common spam keywords, including links. If any such keywords are found, the thread gets auto-moderated.

In order to prevent double-posting, I decided it was necessary for users to be able to see their own moderated threads in the forum listings before they get approved. Nobody reads the redirection message shown, so I hope that this will be more effective in preventing duplicates.

Moderated threads from unregistered users will not be shown to those users.

Open forumdisplay.php,

Find:

PHP Code:

        if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canseedelnotice']))
        {
            $visiblethreads = " AND visible = 1 ";
        }
        else
        {
            $visiblethreads = " AND visible IN (1,2)";
        } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

        if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
        {
            if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canseedelnotice']))
            {
                $visiblethreads = " AND (visible = 1 OR (visible = 0 AND postuserid = " . intval($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) . "))";
            }
            else
            {
                $visiblethreads = " AND (visible IN (1,2) OR (visible = 0 AND postuserid = " . intval($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) . "))";
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canseedelnotice']))
            {
                $visiblethreads = " AND visible = 1 ";
            }
            else
            {
                $visiblethreads = " AND visible IN (1,2)";
            }
        } 


Note: if you want to allow users to see their own moderated posts as well, see post #2.

Does this work on 3.8? It's posted on a 3.8 Mod thread, but the version says 4 is required.

Edit: I manually changed the version number, but also have the same issue where users are unable to edit posts pending approval.

The product I uploaded is intended for use with vB 4.2.x.
