Right now there are Private Forums. Any member that signs in can see them.

So, if I sign in I can see them.

There's no way I can see them if I'm not signed in correct?

I think I explained it as an Admin 'only' forum which is not the case.

My thinking was as an Admin how can I view the Private Forums w/o signing in. Which I think is impossible?

I think I understand what you are saying. Guests (not logged in or unregistered) cannot view this forum. But you'd like to yourself without having to log in, right (and only you or an admin)? As far as I'm aware, that isn't possible because if you're not logged in, there's no way for vBulletin to know that you're an admin and not just a guest. Unless maybe there is some mod, or one was created, that allowed you to set permissions per IP address.

What is the reason that you'd want this? You just don't want the hassle of logging in? Or is it that you don't want users to see that you're online? If it's the second reason, you could always set your self to 'invisible.' Or, create another admin account that displays as a regular member.
