I created a section in my forum called "Admins Only" and denied every user-group access privileges except for the admins. However, all my Supermods can still see it and the content within.

How can I rectify this?

Without logging into your admincp no one can tell anything from a screenshot

I've seen you make this reference a few times and it makes me ask "really"? So nobody can help people here without having complete access to my AdminCP? Do you guys give complete random strangers access to you ACP's?

That's unsettling.

If you check the link under my sig you will see I helped many and ask anyone here I can be trusted. I don't remember the last time I asked anyone access to their admincp as I help lots here.

He is right. In this particular instance, it's hard to tell why this is happening without being able to login as an admin and check all the permissions (and also have a login of a user able to see this forum that should not be able to see it).

Ok, thanks. I will have to utilize the vbulletin.com members support area for this one.

Good luck with that. No one can help with a problem like this unless they can log in as admin and verify the settings. It simply is not possible. ForceHSS, along with a number of others here, can be completely trusted with access to your board. I have not needed such help as of yet myself, but if the time comes I would not hesitate if such help was required and was offered.

Sometimes trusting is the only way to get things done my Man, I have been given access to several vorg's members accounts, ftp, admin cp and even their hosting accounts ...

When we ask you for an admin's account here, someone will probably let you know right away if they can't and shouldn't be trusted. ForceHSS is one of those guys who's reputation here I wouldn't question ...

On the other hand, if he is eligible for ticket support, it is sensible to use it. If I was in his shoes, as with probably not knowing anyone here, why should he take any risks if he does not have to?

Mind you, I'm not questioning anyone's reputation or trustworthiness, but being cautious is sensible (as we all know) and probably not meant to insult anyone.
