This tutorial will show you how to hide the messages of your forum from the visitors.

Search message and replace all by :

Code:

<xen:require css="message.css" />
<xen:require css="bb_code.css" />
<li id="{$messageId}" class="message{xen:if $message.isDeleted, ' deleted'}{xen:if '{$message.is_admin} OR {$message.is_moderator}', ' staff'}" data-author="{$message.username}">

  <xen:include template="message_user_info">
    <xen:map from="$message" to="$user" />
  </xen:include>
  <div class="messageInfo">
    <br /><br />
    <xen:if is="!{$visitor.user_id}">
    <p class="importantMessage">Hello guests. Please <a href="{xen:link 'register/'}">Register</a> or <a href="{xen:link 'login/'}">Log-in</a> To see the messages</p>
    <xen:else />
    <xen:if is="{$message.isNew}"><span class="newIndicator"><span></span>{xen:phrase new}</span></xen:if>
    <xen:if hascontent="true">
      <ul class="messageNotices">
        <xen:contentcheck>
          <xen:if is="{$message.isDeleted}">
            <li class="deletedNotice">{xen:phrase this_message_has_been_removed_from_public_view}</li>
          <xen:elseif is="{$message.isModerated}" />
            <li class="moderatedNotice">{xen:phrase this_message_is_awaiting_moderator_approval_and_is_invisible_to_normal}</li>
          </xen:if>
        </xen:contentcheck>
      </ul>
    </xen:if>

    <div class="messageContent">
      <article><blockquote class="messageText ugc baseHtml">{xen:raw $message.messageHtml}</blockquote></article>

      {xen:raw $messageContentAfterTemplate}
    </div>
       </xen:if>

    <xen:if is="{$visitor.content_show_signature} && {$message.signature}">
      <div class="baseHtml signature ugc"><aside>{xen:raw $message.signatureHtml}</aside></div>
    </xen:if>

    {xen:raw $messageAfterTemplate}

    <div id="likes-{$messageId}"><xen:if is="{$message.likes}"><xen:include template="likes_summary" /></xen:if></div>
  </div>

</li>

Save and Enjoy!

Thats a really nice way of accomplishing this, I followed a different tutorial and it required editing several files. Very efficient!
