Does anyone know if there any mods for creating private threads that only allow selected users/usergroups to view? Mod like QHSF Private Thread or Completely private threads but for vb 4.2.x. Thanks.

I do not know of a mod... I keep it simple and just create a sub-forum for a the few private threads we have, then just use access masks. You first have to enable that in the admincp. It doesn't let a third party setup the private threads, maybe that is what your looking for?

------------------------------------

Update: Just looked at the two mods you referenced. One of them can only be setup by an administrator, you have that with what I suggested above. The other allows user control, I am afraid I have not seen a mod for that. We handle those types of things in "Social Groups".

I am not familiar with all the mods out there... there may be other alternatives...

Just use usergroup permissions and deny them access to the forum the threads are in.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
