Hi!
I've been trying to get a forum up and running but simply cannot seem to get around to doing it! And because of financial constraints I am currently looking at SMF - although they seem to miss a benefit or a mod that I am looking for.
I will gladly rather pay vBulletin for a licence should you have that functionality. These are my needs:
Kindest possible regards

I've been trying to get a forum up and running but simply cannot seem to get around to doing it! And because of financial constraints I am currently looking at SMF - although they seem to miss a benefit or a mod that I am looking for.
I will gladly rather pay vBulletin for a licence should you have that functionality. These are my needs:
- Guests must have limited access to the forum until such time as they register. Despite this limited access, they must;
- Be able to see ALL the Categories that are available to post in or read of on the forum, such as displayed on your site here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/;
- Also be able to click on a forum on the abovementioned page and then be able to see all the listed Threads and the messages displayed when the mouse hovers over the Thread, such as your page listed here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=47
- If possible, the guest may then click on the actual thread, but must then only be allowed to read the initial/first post, i.e. the Starting Thread BUT not be allowed to see any replies to that;
- If no. 4 is not possible, is the functionality up to no.3 available?
- Is there an "error" message displayed when a guest wants to go beyond either no. 3 or no. 4 (as the case may be) explaining that s/he needs to register before being allowed deeper access into the forum and which then also provides a link with which to register?
Kindest possible regards
