Only you can view your thread (23rd Jun 08 at 3:47pm UTC) Resolved
Hey, I need something that makes it so when you make a thread only you can see it and anyone else who views the board can't. Also, if possible I'd like to make it so you can choose what members can view it. All staff should be able to view every thread in the board.
I'll tell you how I'm using it so if you have a better more efficient ay, you can do it that way.
I am creating a board for members to post dispute they are having concerning my site. Instead of doing disputes via email i.e. disputes@website.com I'd rather do it by means of the forum as it is probably faster. The only people I want viewing the dispute is the thread creator and the staff for privacy reasons. Then since most of the disputes will be involving someone else due to the nature of my site, I would like to have the option to add a member to view the thread when needed.
Any more questions while filling this, please PM me. Thank you.

For what you're wanting to do a JavaScript code wouldn't be secure enough, as a member could easily add /noheaders/1/ to the URL and see the complete contents of the post.

hmm then nevermind, don't waste your time. I will do it another way. But, would the way this forum did it be possible? I added the noheader thing to the url and it didn't bypass the script they have implemented.

The noheaders trick will not work for that forum as it's a different system than VFS. Each system has a different bypass system based on how it's coded.
