Subscription fee - setting up.

Did you setup each subforum with Private only access?

Then setup the usergroup with the only permission to view these sections.

Yep, cept for view.

all private section have
view:All
reply, read, post, download are all private.

So all sections can be seen on the main forum page but only certain ones can the plubic get in. Like the rides n events sections. But we want the general public to see what all we have to tease em in too.

I was just trying to make the main forum page more clean, using sub forums within a forum, ya kow how it takes up less space.

But setting group permissions to view said sub forums, within a forum will not take effect. When you reload the page they have changed right back to disallow access.

But just have them all as regular forums and said setting above work just fine so the public can see the section, but only members can get in.

Not like its a real big deal, but would be nice to figure it out.
Like our bike talk section that is 20 forums, if I change bike talk from a category to a forum, them 20 forums become sub forums and take up less space on the main forum page. Can see be seen by general public that we have such sections, but only members have access and it directs them to join / pay.

I tried it on my forum and it works ok, but I think your setting it up wrong.

If you have:

Category
Forum
>Subforum 1
>Subforum 2
>Subforum 3

If you set "Forum" to Private and leave "Subforum 1,2 & 3" set at registered or less, then the subforums will be open and not private.

If you set "Forum" to Private and "Subforum 1,2 & 3" set to Private, then everything is unavailable to everyone.
Then you set a usergroup to have access to these Private areas and start adding members.
