Yet another great -useful- hack! Thanks for sharing it.
Got it installed without a hitch, nice work.
Question...
I have a couple levels of members. There are private forums for "level 2" members... I'd like to allow guests to see the forum/threads, and get the error template, but a different one.
Regular forums: "sorry you'll need to be a member, join here"
Level 2 forums:" sorry, you need to be a level 2 member, join here"
Would this be difficult? My "level 2 " members pay a subscription for access to additional forums, would entice regular members to subscribe if they see the threads but not be able to read them
Thanks again for the hack!
