There are no posts....
 

When I hide a forum to only to registered users, the unregistered users see
"There are no posts in this forum", when in fact there are. Is there a way
to change this to something like "You are not authorized to see this forum"?
If guests know there is "stuff" in that forum and they must be a member to
join, it would increase membership.

I would like for the post count to show but the titles say Join To see this forum

Yeah .. I had that problem myself in the past ... I think I did a quick sloppy solution by playing around with "phrases" from within the control panel. Search for that sentence "There are no posts in this forum" and switch it for somehing like "This forum currently appears empty. Possibly because you do not have forum priviledges to access it."

With an ambiguous phrase like that you cover both possibilies that a user is seeing it because it's a new forum that really is empty .. but also mentions that it could be a privaledge issue!

I doubt that was the answer you were looking for, but it's aquick fix you can do in 3 minutes though your admin control panel! :)

Actually it was the solution! Thank you very much! Works like a charm!
