I wish to use this hack for such a purpose. Unluckily, I was using 6.2. I hope LK could do a backward hack for 6.2 as well.

Any plans to update this for 6.3.1? I tried but got totally lost at the TableTop section (only the second step into the mod :rolleyes: ). Thanks!

Edit: Disregard, I had given up too easily Works great, thanks!

Though you can hide the category, the forums still show up in the "Hop to" navigation and "Daily Active Topics" page. It kind of defeats having a forum category "hidden" when they can be discovered so easily through the aforementioned methods.

Is there a way to hide these forums from the above? Either way, still a nice hack.

I suspect you missed a step somewhere or perhaps got an older version of the hack because it works fine on my board. Posts in the hidden forums don't show up on my Daily Active Topics or in the Hop To section.

My only wish for the hack is to be able to display the catagory/forum on the summary page for those who have access to it. Otherwise you have to remind yourself to check for new posts. I know there's another hack that does this but apparantly there are still some issues with that one. Many many thanks for this hack though
