Is it possible to limit a certain user group to seeing the list of threads in a specific forum but not allow them to see the posts in those threads?

i dont about what group you are saying but there is plugin which allows to show only first post to guests,
sorry i cant find plugin in entend db, mybb search is so poor.

Read this thread. You'll have to edit the plugin so it'll go beyond guests. Other than that, no there's no actual way of doing this without a custom plugin.

There are a couple ways to do this one is configure like instructed here:
https://community.mybb.com/thread-58893.html
or
https://mods.mybb.com/view/max-post-views-guest
which you can configure for any group but you need to change the plugin from 1.6* and add next to it with a comma 1.8*
It works on my 1.8.2 forum for guests...limiting them to three views

Thanks for the replies.

In the end I've managed to achieve the solution I wanted using the Hide From Guest plugin by Harshit. It has an option to hide posts from users with less than x posts so by setting the minimum posts to 100,000 and applying the rule to my VIP section only I can let registered users see the list of threads in my VIP area but not the content of the threads.
