There is a specific user on my forum that I would like stop from posting in a specific public forum. Is there anyway I can do this without creating a new usergroup and setting up the appropriate privileges?

Go to Admin CP -> Users -> Search for User -> Edit Access Masks -> Find the forum -> "No"

Thanks.

Will the Access Mask hide the forum or completely cut off access to it for that user?

BlueNinjaGo · #4 05-03-2009, 01:14 PM

Both?

They can't access it... they can't follow links that lead to it... if your "top 5 stats" or "new posts" or anything has a thread/post from that board, he/she can't see it.

Thanks again. That was the functionality I was needing.

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