Invisible forum, yet still active...

[L9IAnime]

This should be quite a simple little hack, but i was wondering if someone could help me make it so that a forum can be used by my members, but not be visible on the forumhome list by default... if you dont get the idea please ask and i will try to explain better...

This can be accomplished without a hack.

Go into the forum in question or create a new forum in the ACP with this set.

Forum is Active (set to no)
Forum is Open (set to yes)

No problemo. Glad you got it figured out.

I have done that but if I am correct it only shows up if you link it as it doesn't show up in the forums

From my understanding that's what L9IAnime wanted.

Well this is what I am after and I doubt it's the same thing.

I want the Admin forums to be visible only to mods and admins

use the permissions systems, read the manual if you dont know how... basically make the forum, pick the groups you dont want to be able to see it and set their viewing ability to no... works every time

That would be forum permissions under Forums and Moderators in the ACP.
