Section messages for unregistered guests

[Lorissa]

I am wonder if someone might help me with this two-fold issue.

We run a proxy forum site that requires registration and login in order to view various proxy lists posted by members. We have two areas for proxies ... a Private and Public sections.

My first problem is, when unregistered guests visit the site they can see that we have a Public Proxy section and the various categories within. If they click on (for example) the section for Anonymous HTTP Proxies, the following message is presented:

"There are no posts in this forum"

That is both incorrect and misleading and therefore I wish it to say:

"You need to register to view items posted in this section."


Once they have registered and logged in, they can also see that we have a Private Proxy section. Once again, until they have qualified for entrance, when they click on one of the sub-forums contained within this section the message reads:

"There are no posts in this forum"

For this section I would like this message to read:

"You cannot view material posted in this section until you become a VIP member."

Can this be done and if so how? If not, how come?

Thanks for any and all assistance.

can be done with phrase edits (out of my head private and one of the error messages)
