I have worked out that this can be done through Usergroups. If public joinable secondary usergroups were set, up one for each tab and users selected which tabs of forums they were interested in viewing, then all the search, new posts etc would only display what their usergroups were allowed to see

Now the final thing and what seems to be the most elusive feature for me is how to get the tab bar after my first main category of generic forums.

I have experimented but can't get it to work. My main category of generic forums is ForumID 4 so somewhere in the compilation of the forum home page i.e. as it is creating the forums to display it need to have an "if" in there. So as it creates the page if condition="$forum[forumid] == 4" then start creating the page as normal (without tabs) and then if condition="$forum[forumid] != 4" THEN create the tabs.

I know it sounds easy for a non coder which I am but no doubt it may not be as easy as that.

Any suggestions on how I can do this as I so desperatly need it - my forum members need it
