Absolutely you can do it. IMO its not a good idea to force guests, but because soneone asked it, I added it.
No and its not a good idea. (I remember when we had vbulletin we did so, and users were really being angry for that)
these are good features, but not small! they need lots of coding (and re-writting some parts of existing codes too) which in result would need spending time. and its not my priority for free add-ons these days
that add-on doesn't have group selector in option, so it added group permission, so that you be able to set a group to bypass the force. in my add-on, in option, you can set which groups are forced, so no need for a group permission to bypass it. if a groups should bypass the force, simply don't select it in group selector. (if you mean the one from banned developer. but if you are referring to another one, I don't know)
Did you check the checkbox at the end of options of addon? That will add an auto text to let users know which thread is forced.
that was good idea.What would be nice is to be able to set a time limit of sorts... Like the thread has to be viewed for at least 30 seconds or a limit set at the discretion of the Administrator - so that the thread is not simply clicked and members are like, "I clicked it - didn't stay on the thread for 5 seconds and now get to surf the entire forum YAY!" So - perhaps adding a time limit functionality before a user can continue browsing the forum would at least thwart users from a click-and-run type thing
J.
and these days all free times are for a few other works (that maybe you see in near future)
It seems a really good functionality addition and quite close to what we've been looking for. I'm not quite sure if it's perfect for our needs just yet. Will need to discuss it - but it sure is a nice share. If you could add the timer functionality - it definitely be closer to what we're looking for. At anyrate - Thanks so much for the share.that was good idea.
i may add it (MAY) but I'm not sure when. I do these things in my free time as my main job is my law firm
anyway, in order not to miss anything, you can submit suggestion here and paid requests privately here!
Well, IMO, clicking and going is better than clicking and spamming and then going.Hey! I was looking for something like this a while ago, but the only available add-ons had issues. I have a suggestion if you'd be interested in adding it - an option to force a user to reply to a specific thread. I'm sure this would be very situational, but for me I run a guild website and sometimes I'm not convinced my members are reading certain important threads properly. If I install this as it is I'm sure they'll just click through, but if that option was removed until they actually posted a reply then they have no excuse!
Just an idea
What that addon has that my addon doesn't? It just has a permission to bypass, and because my addon has group selector, it doesnt need it anymore.
