Board Privilege Setting

[ranKoto]

Hi all
im using SMF 1.1.4

i have several member group on my forum
i want to make some of my board available for some member group only

yes i can set an Allowed Groups for this, however i want the other member group could stiil see the restricted board but they the couldnt enter it

i want them to post in a room first ( lets say an introduction board ) then i could upgrade their membergroup to the regular on so they'll be able to access all boards

i've tried the View Only Mod, unfortunately it was not what i need

the reason is this mod still allow member to view the topic in the forbidden board, while i want the member could only see the board title but board is completely inaccessible until their membergroup is upgraded by my moderating team

can someone please make this one for me ?

thanks
