okay just desable the Login Security and hope it will sort out... (don't uninstall it for the moment)

[sattninja]

i could not disable it so i uninstalled login security but still no go

[codevarun]

i could not disable it so i uninstalled login security but still no go

have you read that post otherwise?
whats your site let me see that..

[sattninja]

i have changed the post number  few times and i am logging in with a test acct brand new and hasn't read any posts at all

i will pm you with the log in

[sattninja]

new file as requested

[sattninja]

anyone can you help me figure this out

[sattninja]

anyone i have checked everything all the code is in place but it just will not work i am lost

[DarkflameQ]

Another mod i've never been able to get working.

Does anyone know of any mods that may interfere with this one?

[sattninja]

yeah i had the same problem man until i upgraded to RC3 and i havent installed all the mods i had but this one is working now maybe you  should post a list of your mods install let me see what matches what i had it is a place to start

[DarkflameQ]

Too many to list to be honest (55+), i have none relating to logging in so that's why i'm curious to know if anyone knew of any mods in particular non login related that may interfere with this one.

It's very aggravating that mods break other mods but SMF without mods would only be average software at best.

[sattninja]

i agree

what version of smf are you running and you sound like me i had a crap load of mods running and like i said i just upgraded and didnt install alot of stuff just the real cool stuff and everything seems to be working now

[DarkflameQ]

RC3 and all the mods i've installed, i've installed because they are useful to me and my site not just for the hell of it

The majority of the mods i have working so i'm happy for the most part, it's just little mods like this i leave till last, but i can live without them if i can't find a solution but it would be helpful if they did work.

[petesky]

Question: I installed on RC4 but user will not be redirected to the topic set in Modsettings for some reason.
What can be the reason why user is not being redirected to ? Have to set something else ?

EDIT: OK sorry, just read obove thread right now  Any suggestions ?

[petesky]

So, the update function works as expected as it is and i noticed still a problem with force topic read. So i decided to reduced the function without checking for existent topic and now it works.
Don't know why but have no time to debug this further.

[dougiefresh]

Thank you for the wonderful mod!  I thought I'd let everybody know that when I updated my forum from 2.0 RC5 to 2.0 Gold, I had to reinstall all my mods.  This mod installed without issues and without emulation.  Hope this info helps someone!

[jeffreesworld]

Not sure if I'll get a response... but I need help!

I need to know how to stop making a topic a force read.
I can't find the page of settings in my admin panel and every time I login I have to read the same page again and It's really annoying ._.
So if someone could help It'd be so appreciated!

UPDATE `{$db_prefix}settings` SET value =0 WHERE variable = 'force_read_enable'

[floydpink]

This is a great mod. The only restriction is that you can only force the viewing of one post at a time. As some of my members are not that regular it means waiting for quite a long time before being able to change the forced post to a new one.
Here's an update to the mod that allows a list of posts to be entered e.g. 1233,1243,1255 such that the first post in the list that hasn't been read is displayed.
