XF 2.1 Possible to let user create an invisible (private) thread which is accessible by link only?

Then he can make it public again whenever he likes.

My paid Private Threads addon might be what you need,

[OzzModz] Private Threads

Private threads allows users to create threads that can't be viewed by members unless they have been invited to view the thread. FEATURES: Prepend/Append text to thread titles Change existing threads to private threads Change private threads to...

Thanks I'll take a look.

@ozzy47 I'm not sure whether that add-on does what I want.

I want to:

1) let user create a private thread in a forum which is invisible to all users (they don't even see the thread in the forum view/thread listing)
2) people will be able to join (view/reply) the thread if they're given a link
3) the user can make the private thread public/private anytime.

Can that add-on do it?

1) The forum would be visible to all, but users would only see the threads they are allowed to participate in.
2) The thread starter can add/remove users from access to the thread, but not by link. By going the link route, the link could get leaked and then it is no longer private.
3) Yes.

Oh it's like a single thread private group then. It doesn't really serve my purpose as I want to let whoever got the link to get in to minimize the thread owner's work for accepting people. Right it's only for less secured thread. Thanks ozzy.
