Default smf forums

This may not be the right topic:

I'm using SMF for my forum, now i'm curious about:

If i wanted to make certain topics only accessible by users that have paid for it, how would i do that when i use SMF as forum?

I know that vBulletin can do it (just like on DNForum), but can SMF do it as well?
If so, can anyone please let me know how?

Example:
User A - regular Free user
User B - Has package 1 - $10/mth and access to more than User "A".

So, what i need is a paid subscription module that users can upgrade their accounts from free and are then automatically identified as paid subscriber and can access all topics.

Anyone know how to do that in SMF?

Thanks in advance!

I think you can just select them manually and create a private section to be access only by them , or just itch your brain some minutes and create a session category on both memers and forum sections tables then add a verifying script obove the source code, it would be just easy but needs patients

yes you should be able to create a usergroup for the paid members and then set permissions as to who can view what forum
