I'm trying to figure this out. I"m sure it's something really stupid.

I have a subforum for Articles. I don't want this subforum to show up on my forumhome page, just accessible via links on my navigation menu, so I hid this forum. The issue is that guests can't view the threads when I link directly to them. Does hiding a forum restrict guests from viewing them when linked directly? If so, is there any way around this?

Thanks

Yes and no, if you restrict them from seeing the forum before logging in then it prevents them from seeing the whole forum directly. You know with vbulletin anything is possible. But you would have to code it or find a module on it.

is there an option to restrict viewing a forum before logging in? The only option I saw was to restrict the forum from being shown on the forumhome to EVERYONE, which is what it's set at now. Maybe I have some other setting checked on accident?
