btw, i think there's a minor bug
if a guest click on a thread title in a private forum, he will get the message "You didnt have enough post to view this forum" which i think is not approriate
this is how i fixed it

add:
instead of
good hack thoe

newreply.php, newthread.php, search.php still need modifying.

Search.php: You can make it so forumjump doesn't display the forum if you can't get in // When searching, you can't search in that forum // Posts in that forum won't be shown in search results // getnew doesn't show posts from that forum // finding all posts by a user, leaves out posts from that forum

newreply.php: through a url, a user can still reply to threads in the forum and use topic review to see other replies in the thread.

newthread.php: users through a url can bypass the system like above, and create new threads in the forum.
