Moya,

I had the same problem trying to get what I wanted to work. However I think I have found the way to achieve it through normal settings.

In the forum permissions for those usergroups that I want to be able to see the forum and the thread titles but NOT the thread content, what I have done is this:
- Set Can View Forum to Yes
- Set Can View Thread Content to No
- Set Can View Others' Threads to Yes

It's the last option there that changes the Thread Title from Private to the actual thread title on the forum home.

This DOES give the usergroup access to the forum. So they can see every thread in the forum, they just cannot see any of the content. Was this the same thing your mod does? If you are even more restrictive (i.e. can see Forum Name, but cannot enter Forum) then I may be very interested in your mod.
