vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Show Threads Sitewide by Prefix [Tutorial]

I'd love to say YES, but the answer is NO.

The prefix permissions (that can be set per prefix-set or each prefix individually) are directed at who can use that prefix in their threads, and are not about who can watch threads of a specific prefix.

Also, threads from forums that are not accessible to "non-members" won't show up in the search results.

But if you refer to filtering out of certain threads from the result-set, I'm afraid it's impossible.

I hope that vB 4 will allow permission management of prefixes for viewing also.
