admin panel > forum & mods > forum permissions

Just click a usergroup sample (Unregistered / Not Logged)

Under the section you dont want them to view the threads except thread title, click edit for that usergroup and choose..

Can view forum - Yes
Can view thread content - No
Can view others threads - Yes

Woola

So this makes it so that they can read the thread title, but not the content, correct?

Exactly

Not really ... Members who just join to read are not worth much IMHO, as they don't contribute, eg. keep the Forums active.
Better less members that post, then half a ton of members that say nothing

helo..
me disbale thread contents view for guests?
but did that create probs for search spider??

I wasnt concerned about spiders at this time, thus since purchasing vbseo i let all content open to everybody as well as spiders.In retrospect this would increase the userbase more as it gives the average JOE who would have not signed up, somthing to read , then giving you +1 number on forum.
