Show First Post Only
Mod Version: 1.4, by MarkFL

This product will allow you to restrict users to seeing only the first post in a thread, (and their own posts so that they can review/edit). There are settings that allow you to exclude usergroups from this restriction and to choose in which forum(s) and thread(s) this restriction will apply.

You can set additional CSS for the message shown to users, alerting them that they are being restricted to seeing only the first post and their own posts.



In order for the restricted users to see only the first post and their own in the "Topic Review," you will need to install my Enhanced Thread Review.
