I have a forum called: Staff room
But I'm tired of the PW getting leaked or hacked.
So is there a way to make only staff be able to access it ?
Or make it so only staff can access it but i can leave a message saying:
Hey Wut ya doin ? Ya ain't to be here man. this isa staff rommeh...

I want members to be able to see it but not access it... only mods n admins.

Yes but if they can access the forum then they can see the title: Should we ban "NAME HERE"?

Then set it so that particular usergroup can't see the forum lol... its that simple.

Just go to Forum Permissions, hit Deny All, and then add permissions for those you want to see it.

Why do you want regular users to see that a Staff forum exists? I think most people assume there is some Staff forum (and the ones who don't probably could care less anyway). Just hide it to everyone but Staff.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
