Required amount of posts to enter Board

[iAlex]

Alrighty, this code will allow you to force people to make a certain amount of posts before they can enter a board.

You just need to edit the red text at the top of the code.

Global Footer.

Cross Browser.

Open Source.

Ok, for editing instructions.

Board ID is the ID of the board that you want to have a post count restriction on. Now, make sure you use the actual ID, not the name. The ID of the board can be found in the URL, it will look something like this:
/index.cgi?board=here

Required Posts is just the amount of posts that needed to be made before someone can enter that board.

The safe users, are all those users who can enter the boards even if they don't have enough posts. You just need to enter their username sepearted with a: |

If you have any problems editing, or find any bugs, then don't hesitate to ask.
