Edit forumdisplay.php and find:

$getperms=getpermissions($forumid,-1,-1,$foruminfo['parentlist']);
if (!$getperms[canview]) {
show_nopermission();
}


After that add:
if ($bbuserinfo[posts]<X AND $forumid==Y) {show_nopermission();exit;}

Replace X with min post number and Y with your forumid..

Ah btw. always search in request forum too. There many small hacks released here like this one.. For instance I recall I gave this code a few times here in requests forum.. :)

Enjoy..

ok, this hack works, but is there a way to hide the forum completely from those not allowed to view it or post in it? that would be great.
