Braindg, here's what you can do:

In articles.php :
Find

PHP Code:

if ($action=="viewarticle") { 


After that, add the following

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="1" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="3" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="4" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="0") {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('vbArticles_error3')."\");");
      }else{ 


In the same articles.php file , Find

PHP Code:

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('vbArticles_articleview')."\");"); 


After that, add the following

PHP Code:

} 


Next, add the following attached template.

All done, viewing of articles is now nonviewable by those awaiting confirmation, Coppa users and Unregistered/Not logged in users.
( those usergroup ids - 1 , 3 , 4 )
If you wish to add more usergroups to deny them viewing of articles, simply add in their usergroup ids accordingly.
