how to view private(hidden) threads in vbulletin forums

how to see or view private(hidden) threads in vbulletin forums,?
The thread that is for special members and not the registered members, as i am a registered user and the admin has restricted me to view a thread.
I am reffering to the Vbulletin 3.8.7 forums.

I believe there was some bug where you were able to view the thread in "printing" mode.
I'm not sure if that's vBulletin or other forum software and in which version that was possible.

Just change showthread.php to printthread.php

^from the post above.

if there is hidden section then you cant see thread without hack that forum..

the printing thing is not working. Is there other solution?

anyone can have another solution for this?

Try viewing a cached version of the page.
Press the little arrow on Google, and click "Cached"


Alternatively, just use this Google dork:
cache:http://www.whateversite.com/whatever..

not working.. Please any one guide me

Have you seriously just dug up this thread like the last person has? It's obviously not of anyone's concerns anymore so, leave it.

No one ever found a way to do this on vbulletin?

I'd like to know this as well. I tried the printthread thing and it is not working.

Gravedig jeez do you even realise all of these peoples accounts are closed.

For record's sake, on some configurations switching to mobile UA and passing forumid discloses data such as thread names, last poster etc. without authorization. Not much, but as far as recon goes all information is useful information.
