Private Threads

[محروم.كوم]

I'm preparing a proposal for a client who is looking to set up a site which will be based around a forum type structure.


The model is as follows:
The site is to be a resource where businesses can contact Experts/Sponsors in specific fields and have dialogue with them. There is a requirement that in the first instance, these exchanges are viewable only by the business posting the question and the Expert.

Only once both parties have agreed to do so, is the dialogue made available to the full membership. It becomes part of the overall resource directory and searchable by all.

Is this something that is possible or is there a means of porting a private message thread into a live forum thread?

Could someone advise if this is possible or if there's an add-on that will allow this.

Many thanks in advance.
