Incidentally, many of us consider this a remarkably bad idea. In cases of sites that do this, I leave and never come back.

Same here. If you're going to show me a board title then I'd like to see what's inside before signing up.
DO NOT pm me for support!

wtfwtf

well it's for special membergroup, just so that the others know these guys have their own place

wtfwtf

found a way around it

moved the subforum to a subforum of the subforum
made the parent subforum read only.


but still would be great to just show the cake

Again... the mod provided allows you to do that, if you insist on doing so.

And IMO, if someone deserves to know, they will... some day ;).

View/Enter Board Permissions
This would do exactly what the OP is asking for, and without a mod it's not really possible to do any better than the OP has already done, so I'm marking this topic solved.
