How do I set a min. post count to view a certain forum?

[jojo77]

I want to have like a 50 post min. before members can view the threads of a certain forum.

1) Create a new usergroup that can access the forum
2) Add a promotion from a regular usergroup to new usergroup based on posts
3) Done

i didn't want to have to move my members into another group but if that's the only way

You can use a Promotion to a Secondary usergroup.

Yeah. Make a new usergroup that would have no permissions but access to that forum. Being a secondary usergroup, it will act as a complement to the primary usergroup, successfully accomplishing your goal.

I was also looking for something like this, so i also did it with the extra usergroup.

The only problem is, i want that the members see the section and how much posts/reply's there are in that section but when they click on it they will get a message that they need min. X posts to see al this.

This is only possible by coding i think
I want give up searching

You could set 'View content' to no for the usergroup.

Yes that is one of the new permissions in 3.5.
