In the forum permissions for that particular forum, remove the View privilege for Guests.
ACP > Forums & Posting > Forum Management > (click your forum) > Permissions.
Another way is
acp>users&groups>groups>click guests to edit> untick the can view board option.
then as soon as a guest arrives at the site they will be presented with the login screen
