Hey guys,

New user to VB, but an old hand with phpBB and other such CMS'es... A search didn't help me (wrong keyword perhaps) but what is the best way to create a forum on my VB install that *ONLY* moderators can see and read?

I'll have about 15 mods and I need to create a completely private area for those 15 people to talk about things like member's conduct etc in.

Sorry if this is something that's been covered 8 million times, but I really didn't find anything all too helpful through my own efforts

EDIT IN:
I've added in a board that I thought would be hidden, but it's not. Even unregistered users can see it

Sad face

From the manual - https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...ample_private_

You're a lifesaver...

I'll try to keep stupid questions to a minimum, but I find the manual difficult to use, so unfortunately I suspect 1 or 2 more may slip out

Just asking for forgiveness in advance of the nearing stupidity.

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