private forum
 

Hello,
I am trying to set up a forum that anyone can see but when you click the forum is will say something like approved members only or user access not allowed. I don't want it to be invisible. Is there a hack that I have to install to accomplish this?

just set can view permissions to yes, but can search and every other permission to no :)

It still lets me in. I'm viewing the forum as unregistered and I can still get it even though I set it able to view but now to search.

While you can still view the forum, you shouldn't be able to see any threads contained within it.

That explains a little more. As you can tell, I have a new board with no posts yet. I wanted to set everything the way I wanted before doing anything. Thanks for the help.
