Forum can be seen but cannot post unless registered
 

Hello to all.

I am curious about a problem I am having. I am looking to make my forums unable to be viewed unless a person registers. I found this site:

http://forums.offtopic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=115

Just a popular site, yet you must be registered to view the inside of the threads.

Now what I have done is gone in to the unregistered usergroup and made my forums viewable, and able to view thread content. Yet what happens is instead of making it where a guest clicks on thread title and then taken to a page where they have to register, it allows them in. So I turn off the View thread content and then it makes everything private and you cannot see any titles

Any ideas of what I can do.

Thanks

Alright with a little looking, I managed to find a mod that might help you out. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201563

I am sure their are other mods like it and the link i gave was for 3.8 Hope that helped

thought you could do this using access masks for user groups

In admin cp forums & moderators - forum permissions i have several forums that are private until registered.

I have even seen admin zone where you can view thread titles, yet when you go to click on them it tells you that you need to register. When I have tried this through the forum manager, it makes each forum private all together. I am not sure if this is a bug or something I am doing wrong.
