Curious..

I'm just wondering there is a hack for this (or maybe you can do this with an unaltered vBulletin, I don't know):

Users can see the forum, but they can't get into it until they have [x] amount of posts.

Is there a hack for this or can it be done within vBulletin? I'm fairly new to it, so forgive my n00bishness :nervous:

Does not require a Hack, can be done with standard permissions and usergroup promotions

You can ?

How do you set a forum so that it's visible (listed) but you cannot get in it (then) ?

I didn't think this was possible.

Kirby's right; there are also a couple of useful hacks around here:

Allow Group to Read Titles but not Content (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60178)

Guest can see forums, but have to register to read topics (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71498)

Hope you find 'em useful :)

Surely it's possible.
ACP / vBulletin Options / vBulletin Options / Forum Display Listing Options
Hide Private Forums = No

Then the Forum will be listed, but of course you can't get in if you do not have permission.
Now setup Registered so it does not have access.
Create a Usergroup Full Access that has access.
Create a Promition from Registered to Full Access when the user has at least X posts.
Done.

Ahh ok, thank you for clearing that up! :)
