I seem to be having a problem
I would like to setup my board with
restrictions based opon number of posts.

also I'd like to hide URLs that are in posts
so that you can only see them based upon number of post other members have

Exsample:
test <--you cannot see this if you have under let's say 20 post


are these requests possable
& how do you do it "if it is possable"

well it looks like ur meaning to get the lockdown hack and i believe its not permitted here to give it out
guys if im wrong please say so!!!

You are right:

yup

I was looking for a hack that "I thought "would stimulate users into participating in forum conversations,,
but if what I want is not permitted & or looked down upon then that's not quite what I'm looking for.

let me rephrase what I was looking for
I'd like to set permissions "with most of the forum"
based upon number of posts, not on the user group that you are in.

I've looked into Lockout & I don't really see how that would be of use to me
"Force people to reply to a post??"I don't really get it ,,oh well
I'd think that forcing someone to reply would just fill my forum with a bunch of crap posts.

what you need is

1. more active members generating interesting discussions
2. a reward system for posting/replies.. i.e. more avatars, custom titles when you reach a certain amount of posts, custom avatars if you don't already offer those to regular members
3. prizes

Ouhhhhhh, prizes. :D
You gotta love the prizes...

Yes,,,good point I never thought to look at it from that point of view

RE:a reward system for posting
RE:prizes

I'll have to look into that!

thanks for your time "you've giv'n me something to think about"
I could throw in some polls,,,& quiz type stuff.

Thanks for your time
& a qiuck response

no probs .. with this way you get loyal members :D
