try this

PHP Code:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], $privateusergroupable)) {
$getthreadids=$DB_site->query("
    SELECT
    ".iif($sortfield=="voteavg",$votequery,"")."
        thread.threadid
    FROM thread
    WHERE thread.forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
        AND thread.sticky=0
    $datecut
    $limitothers
      ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder
      LIMIT ".($sel_limitlower-1).",$perpage");
} else {
$getthreadids=$DB_site->query("
    SELECT
    ".iif($sortfield=="voteavg",$votequery,"")."
        thread.threadid
    FROM thread
    WHERE thread.forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
        AND thread.sticky=0
        AND thread.visible=1
        ".iif($allowusercreateprivate==1,"AND thread.visible=0","")."
    $datecut
    $limitothers
      ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder
      LIMIT ".($sel_limitlower-1).",$perpage");
} 


not sure if this'll work though
