Edit forumdisplay.php and find:

PHP Code:

$getperms=getpermissions($forumid,-1,-1,$foruminfo['parentlist']);
if (!$getperms[canview]) {
  show_nopermission();
} 


After that add:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[posts]<X AND $forumid==Y) {show_nopermission();exit;} 


Replace X with min post number and Y with your forumid..

Ah btw. always search in request forum too. There many small hacks released here like this one.. For instance I recall I gave this code a few times here in requests forum..

Enjoy..

ok, this hack works, but is there a way to hide the forum completely from those not allowed to view it or post in it? that would be great.
