I like the idea NsT!

I've installed and come across some problems.

As mentioned, if more than one category is selected for the default, it won't load. Maybe setting the system not to work off the IDs (perhaps giving them unique ones) with a seperate variable that allows you to set what categories are installed might help this problem.

I've also noticed that in IE7 when you load up a tab that has restricted access (this might apply to FF2, I'm not sure yet), for example the Admin Category areas, Moderators forums, etc, the category header loads, as if it's bypassing the check in vBulletin that allows a category to be shown or not. This isn't ideal because I'd like to be able to set a tab to show all the forums that are available, not just a select few. And at the same time not show there are restricted areas to my users, as most will never have a need to know they are there.

This also makes me wonder if it's possible to set a tab to hold the restricted access areas and have it not show up to users without the permissions to see the area.

Also, when you do set the first category to be restricted access in IE7 at least, it loads up the 'no permissions' page within the FORUMHOME template, as opposed to replacing it.

Hope this helps you in the development of a nice little mod.
