Only thread starters and moderators can read a topic

Hello all!
I am hoping that this isn't too big a job. Basically, I want to create a single forum of my board which allows read access only to thread starters and moderators. I still want anyone to be able to create threads, just not read each other's threads.
I have looked around the source code a little, and I see that I need to call YafBuildLink.AccessDenied(). However, I don't know where I need to call this from (I see lots of places which look like they might be suitable), and I don't know how to check if the user is the thread starter.
Any help any of you could offer would be very greatly appreciated.

Hello, I still need a little bit of help here, and any you could offer would be very greatly appreciated. I am thinking about editing the posts.ascx.cs file, and in the Page_Load event, changing this: Code:
else if (!this.PageContext.ForumReadAccess)
{
YafBuildLink.AccessDenied();
}
to this: Code:
else if (!this.PageContext.ForumReadAccess || (this.PageContext.PageForumID == 3 && !this.PageContext.ForumModeratorAccess && !Thread_Starter))
{
YafBuildLink.AccessDenied();
}
However, I am still having trouble working out the thread starter: "!Thread_Starter" Please help me

Simply change the forum read access and add a check if the current user matches the topic starter user id Code:
if (this.PageContext.IsGuest && !this.PageContext.ForumReadAccess)
{
// attempt to get permission by redirecting to login...
this.Get<IPermissions>().HandleRequest(ViewPermissions.RegisteredUsers);
}
else if (!this.PageContext.ForumReadAccess)
{
YafBuildLink.AccessDenied();
}
// Check if user is topic starter
if (this.PageContext.PageUserID != this._topic["UserID"].ToType<int>())
{
YafBuildLink.AccessDenied();
}

Someone please help Then you need to check if the user is an admin or a mod Code:
// Check if user is topic starter or admin or forum moderator
if (this.PageContext.PageUserID != this._topic["UserID"].ToType<int>() && (!this.PageContext.IsAdmin || !this.PageContext.IsForumModerator))
{
YafBuildLink.AccessDenied();
}

Thanks for your code update i will replace with the new code tomorrow and send you an update.
Just one other thing Even though unauthorized people cannot read the topic, they can still see the topic title .....Can we hide the topic titles as well?
Thank You For All Your Help
John
