Basic question: how do we learn how to restrict member access to a certain sub-forum (which is actually the sales forum) on our little site?

It used to be pretty easy when we were on phpBB and we still have access to the old forum so we can see the 80 odd members who should have access enabled.

We want to restrict access to members with 30 days membership + 25 posts.

Running vBulletin? Version 5.4.2

Thank you in advance.

There are several steps involved.

1) You need to create a usergroup which you intend to have permission to view the specific sub-forum in question.

2) You need to create a promotion to move users who meet your criteria (30 days registered and 25 posts) into that new usergroup.

3) You need to restrict access to that specific channel by channel permissions (if so desired) in the case or event that there are usergroups you want to see that channel regardless of having met the criteria. Typically this would be moderators.

If you need more specific help the better place to ask is on vBulletin.com although I do check this forum frequently and will be more than happy to assist you further.

And, yes, it would be helpful if people would not derail questions by posting irrelevant replies or comments.
