I would like to encourage guests to register, by showing them the threadslisting (the forumdiplay), but disallowing them to actually read the posts.

I hacked it for DCForum (which I currently use), and I would like to have it for vB, because it definetely works.

It would require a hack in the forumdisplay-file I think. All the threads would be displayed, but when someone clicks the thread or tries to post, he gets the 'no-permission-error' (this already happens).

Great Idea! Would love to see this hack

Think I came up with a solution myself.

In forumdisplay.php search for:

Code:

$limitothers="";

Just below it add:

Code:

$getperms[canviewothers] = "1";

Seems to work fine.

The access-masks are 'on', and I have the following usergroup-settings for the forum:
- can-view-board = yes
- can-view-others-threads = no

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
