hey guys... i just found that this is taking all threads from all the forums.
So to protect the private forums..i did this
in the toptopics.php below line

PHP Code:

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ 


added below

PHP Code:

$excludedforums = "48,34"; // forums to be excluded from latest threads. Format "0,1,2,3" 


i have taken 48,34 as an example. these are the forum ids btw

then in same file find

PHP Code:

WHERE thread.open = 1
AND thread.visible = 1 


and add below

PHP Code:

AND thread.forumid NOT IN ($excludedforums) 


did this for all three occurences in that page.

Now forums are safe from all private forum posts showing there.
Btw same can be extended to whatever forums you wanna hide. say if you just want this to work for one forum exclude all the rest forums.
