    Administration Panel > General > Forum > Categories & Forums
    Edit each forum's permissions and uncheck the guest boxes.

    While this does work it makes it appear as if my forum has no sections to anyone not logged in. I would like to make the forum function completely normal for guests but once the click on the thread name it will give a message saying "Sorry only members can view threads"

    Well then uncheck the box that says read topic/threads for guests.  Keep the box for guests to view.

    Make sure that you are in the advanced mode for permissions.
