So you need to set up the appropriate forum permissions yourself, by going to Forum Permissions and adjusting the permissions for the different groups. I think what you'd want to do is remove permissions from any groups you want to hide the forum from by default, then create an "over 16" group (maybe copying from Registered User), and add back the permissions for that group. Unfortuantely I can't tell you offhand exactly which permissions to set how, but I suppose you'd want to set most of the permissions for Registered User to 'no' for the over 16 forum.

Of course this is a little more difficult than having a product that does it all for you, so I understand if you don't want to go this route.

Thank you i will give this a try.
