Prevent access to newbie forum if posts > x
 

Was thinking of creating a forum for newbie users to hang out without risking smartass comments from people who have lived on the board for years on end.

I searched the hacks and couldn't find anything like this? Does something like this exist?

i know there is a hack, where you can decide a minimum of posts for a forum to be viewable for users.

download this hack and change the if clauses for a minimum post-counter to a maximum postcounter.

go to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...413#post261413

that's a post that someone replyed to when I asked how to limited forum access if it under post, and if you scroll down to post number 11, it tells you how to do it for forums...now, if you want to stop other users getting access to it, you'll have to change one part:

change the line that says:

to

that's it, now whoever is above that number of post won't beable to post there

but it's for new threads, I'll see if it works the same with newreplys

*edit*Just checked, it's the same as the newthread.php, just look for the same line that says in post (link is in the first sentince) in newreply.php then follow the instrustion in that post ;) *edit*
