I have a portion of my forum set up so only the mod and the thread starter can view the thread. These threads contain sensitive information. Problem is, while I cannot access the full thread as a random user I can see a preview under the thread title (not good). Is there anything I can do to remove the preview?
Did you setup the forum so that guest can see the topic title but not able to view the full thread? Perhaps you want to hide the entire sub-forums complete from non-authorized users? Can you PM me with a sample URL and we will look into it if there is a quick work-around.
A hack is not necessary, this can be done a few different ways, and depending on how it is done, it could show previews but not allow access, or it could not appear at all except for those who have access. The third way is to show the forum exists, but the preview info is private, and access is restricted.
Forum changes 1. Open your forum manager and create a forum where you would like it, I called mine "Contact the Staff", in the forum setup page set it as follows Act as Forum - yes Forum is Active - yes Forum is Open - yes The other settings can be set as you would normally do. Click save then select Set Forum Permissions, click on Registered Users and set the following- Can View Forum - yes Can View Thread Content - yes Can View Others' Threads - no Can Use Email to Friend - no Can Download Attachments - yes Can See Deletion Notices - no Can See Thumbnails - yes Can Search Forums- yes Can Post Threads - yes Can Reply to Own Threads - yes Can Reply to Others' Threads - no Can Edit Own Posts - up to you Can Delete Own Posts - no Can Delete Own Threads - no Can Open / Close Own Threads - no Can Move Own Threads - no Can Rate Threads - no Follow Forum Moderation Rules - yes The rest I set to no, but does not really matter. Click save and set the same for other usergroups that you do not wish to be able to see all threads etc. Mine is set so Admins and Mods can see and answer all thread
This is great - we will reproduce it at our test forum in next day or two. We will PM you as soon as we reproduced it and start working on a fix (if necessary). Thanks again.
Your version is still 0.9.11 http://............/forums/mobiquo/conf/config.txt can you double check you have installed it successfully?
