Minimum Posts Per Day to View Specified Forums
What does this hack do?
It allows you to specify the minimum posts per day that a user must have, in order to view specified forum(s). This is especially useful, if you want only active users to view a specified forum, and disable access to those forums from less active users.
How do I install this hack?
Simply follow the attached instructions.

If you have 3 forums set up. You set each forum to a minimum 1 post, your post only counts for one of the forums, as if you're paying a toll to get in. So with your one post you have access to one of the three forums, although you're going to have to post another 2 to get in to the other 2 forums. That might be your problem, you'd like it to work in the way that 1 post grants you access to all forums with a 1 post minimum. I hope that makes sence.

This is in reply to insanctus.
If you have 1 post per day, and if all forums require at least 1 post per day to view them, then you WILL be able to view them all.
Although, the problem here would be that it would be impossible to get that initial post then
There are many other ways people could view new threads without going through the forumdisplay.php
I will not modify this hack so that it fixes all of those, because there isn't a high enough demand for this hack - if there were more people who wanted it, then I would do it. But, this is not the case at the moment, sorry.
Thanx Gary! (I think you made this hack after my request??) Is there a way to integrate this with showthread.php? that way people can't just link their friends to the specific thread. thnx a million
One idea: Why not instead of letting users know they do not have enough posts, make it so that the forum is invisible until they have enough posts? This may cut down on the spam, and let users who are truly active enjoy the benefits of secret forums?
Today at 02:49 AM Talisman said this in Post #24 Confused by the description. If the forum is set to one post per day, then how many days would a member have to be posting at that rate to get in?
It doesn't matter how long the user has been a member for
