I've never quite understood why my users call me the "Evil Admin".... <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Anyhow, I've installed it now and it works great! The only "bug" i've stumbled on so far is that every time I go to edit a forum it keeps forgetting if teaser forum is set or not, and simply reverts to "off" (but it's an extremely minor problem, as all I have to do is set it on whenever I want to edit a private forum)

Hrm... the changes in viewboard.php should take care of making sure the box is checked if it's setup to be a teaser. Works on my test site. Are you sure you made those changes. If not, PM me and I'll take a look and see why it's not working for you. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great mod Josh! In my situation this should help sell some subscriptions. Just a thought here, I see it's using the standard "Access Denied" message which can be changed easily enough but it would be nice if we could add our own unique message for that forum. This way we could put in a link to the membership etc.

Very nice I must say.. teaser topics next?

[]You may wish to customize the "Access Denied" message (language files) to explain why they<br />can't view the forum. (Must login, must subscribe etc.....)[/]<br /><br />Are you referring to the postlist.php file? Or are there other files I need to re-edit?<br /><br />Thank You! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Tha language file for postlist.php - you might also want to customize it in the showflat/showthreaded language files.

Is there any way of making this work in 6.3?
