Default How to make it so only people with 500+ posts can see forum?

I want to make it so that users with 500+ posts can only enter a forum and those with less can still SEE the forum in the main index, but cant enter it to see the threads. So far, Ive gotten it so that a user with less than 500 can see it but they can also enter it, which I dont want (but cant post in it)

First thing that comes to my mind is to use promotion.

Create usergroup based on registered user's one (or whatever), change permissions the way you like it, or leave them the same, and enable this usergroup to post and whatever in that specific forum. For that use custom forum permissions for that usergroup (and forbid whatever you want for regular registered users).

All of that is in usergroups section of AdminCP. I think that should to the trick for you.

Yep. Promotions are what you should use.

yeah I tried that. But that doesnt seem to stop users with less than 500 posts from clicking the forum and entering it, (however they cant post in it)

I tried going to User Permissions> View Forum, and if I set that to No, than they wont even be able to see the forum in the index, which I dont want. but if I set Yes, they see it in the index but can also enter it.

Let's see what you have for all the permissions for the under 500 posts usergroup and your forums (take a screencap of your permissions).

You mean a screenshot? I tried but then I realized Id have to take 10-15 screenshots to cover everything in the permissions for the usergroup.
Right now, I have a 500+ posts custom usergroup and the Registered Users usergroup (which Im trying to make them not accessible to the forums) but I dont have an 'Under 500 posts' usergroup

One forum that you say isn't working would be enough.
