The only thing I can think of would be to use categories with descriptions for those forums. Make the categories and category descriptions viewable but not the forums.
Anything else would require a custom add-on, I would guess.
This one sounds like it might do what you want: MARCO1 Hide Thread Content - With excluding forum to hide content - vBulletin.org Forum but it was coded for vBulletin 4.0.0. It may or may not work with 4.2.5 but you could try it and see.
Alternatively, there are these that show only the first post in the thread:
Guests See First Post Only (updated that it doesn't affect spiders)
MarkFL - Show First Post Only (requires that you also install Enhanced View Forum Posts (search results))
View forum threads, but not posts

View forum threads, but not posts
Hi all!
I set up my Paid Subscription for certain forums. I would still like "guests" to be able to see/view the titles of the threads, views, etc, but not be able to go in them to read the posts. On the masks, when I allow "View Forum", it doesn't allow that? Is there another way?Tags: None
