Force Users to Read a Thread 2.0

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.
  • Files edited: 0
  • Templates edited: 0
  • Files to upload: 2 (1 via ACP, 2 via FTP)
  • Time to install: 1 minute
Updates:

Version 2.0 (03/05/08):

Haha, xD! This modification makes me giggle. But why would you want to "force" a user? Well, it sounds good to me. I'll be making my forum users read my threads. >=]

hi

work perfect witch all release ,i use now vbulletin 3.7.1 it is ok.
I think you enter the wrong ID number.
it must create the message, then go on the message you just as if you want to read for the first time and then write down the ID number.

Working 100% here at 3.7.1.


I'm planning to make a new version with more usability,
some like this:

in post create/edit add a option to area:

Miscellaneous Options

[ x ] Mark thread as FORCE READ

And set via admincp who have permissions to view this option.

note that theres a difference between p= and t= in the showthread link
t stands for thread and p for post

the id that appears when u post the thread is the post id, mind was 21 and the thread id is actually 12

works sweeter than sugar on my 3.7.3
