From the ReadMe: This module introduces the concept of "subscribers" or "supporters" of your forums. These could be users that are helpful, people who have donated money or something else - the point being that using this module you can make them "premium subscribers" and provide benefits to them accordingly. I wrote this module to allow supporters of my site to (optionally) hide the affiliate adverts and Google adverts that keep my site funded. Currently, there are three "custom profile fields" which you must add via the Phorum Admin system. These are: 1) subscription_expiry - this defaults to a year in the future when you add a subscriber. Once the subscription expiry date has been reached, the user is no longer considered to be a subscriber by this module. 2) subscriber - you never alter this directly, the module determines whether a user is a subscriber based on subscription_expiry 3) hide_adverts - this custom field can be used within your templates to remove adverts for subscribers Please see the screenshot below to see an example of how I am hooking into this module to provide my members with additional benefits. In case it's of use, the previous Phorum 5.1.x thread is here. I'm interested to know if anyone else ever uses this module, so please let me know by posting here. /\dam https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?62,152301,152301#msg-152301 Sat, 08 Aug 2026 23:56:25 -0500 Phorum 6.0.4 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?62,152301,153319#msg-153319 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?62,152301,153319#msg-153319 OzzyReptiles v5/v6 Modules/Add-Ons Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:00:59 -0600 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?62,152301,152301#msg-152301 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?62,152301,152301#msg-152301 From the ReadMe:
