Maybe im not 'getting' it currently, but how would you go about making certain forums 'private', so that the average user doesnt see it or its header, but the people I select can see this forum? In many clans/gaming communities, you have a leadership which makes decisions that affect the whole group and might want to be kept secret. Like a war room. My current forum is here: http://hondos.org/forum/Forum.asp?FId=250

Hi!

Go to Administration/Forum Management. There you will see a 'Permissions'-link for each of your forums. The most simple way usually is to set read, post and create topics to 'Groupmember' for the forums you want to keep private and than add everyone you want to be able to use these forums to your usergroup by using Administration/Group Members.

You can also create an test user on your forum to test the permissions.
