Hi. The members of my forum want me to set a certain "Members Only" sections of my forum so that each member has to have 10 posts before they can access the Member's Only area. I looked all around the Admin CP but couldn't find anything like this. Is there a way to do it? |

The way I know how to do it is to set up two different user groups with two different forum access permissions. First, you'll need to set up a new permissions set. ACP -> Forum Access (in the Users & Groups category). Make a new permission set based off your default Members one and make adjustments as you desire there. You can call the permissions set whatever you like really. Then make a new user group based on your default Members one, and assign it the new permissions set that you just made. Then make the Member's Only section and set it so that the new Members Only group can access it, but not the default one. You can make it so that the default one can't read posts there or make it so they can't even see the section at all. That part's up to you and your members.

Thank you. I already knew about that, but it's a lot of work. I just need a way to set a post limit. |

Forum access is based on permission sets, which almost always tied to a user's group. Gaomon274's method is the way to do it, as described in the documentation. |

Guess there's no thinking outside the box then, is there? |

Quite the contrary. It is possible to implement, but you have this false notion of how it should be done, and don't want to think of other possibilities. |

It tells you how to do it right in the link that Ben posted.
