Here's a mod to hide private forums:
Hide private forums mod

thank you What's the bottom part about, it looks like it'll give us a popup banner for prohosting?

yup, good job!

I believe prohosting adds banner code to each page, including TXT files, so they tried to add their banner.. of course this text is plain text and not HTML so you see the source code instead of the actual banner.

I know, the webhost automatically puts it at the bottom of each page. Don't bother.

Will this work with 6.5?

This doesn't work for me. I've tried it with and without the php accelerator, and I've tried being logged in with access, without access, and logged out and I see them all 3 times. I've cleared the cache too

Me too, I'm testing it on a new 6.6 board and it shows the private forums even when I'm logged out. It also seems to prevent ultimatebb.php from running, I get the .cgi page 100 percent of the time. If I put my backups in then the .php page runs again.

It looks like a couple steps that he has toys with the cache.

I'm sorry for the UBB Accelerator, but my host has disabled PHP, so I wasn't able to test it.
I think that if you want to, you can set the path to the summary cache in ultimatebb.php on line 202 manually to the most restrictive set.
Don't forget to change this whenever you add a public forum or change forum access rights!

I'll process the installation list again and try to find any bugs in my installation guide.

P.S. Has anyone got it to work yet?

not working for me either on 6.6.1

I've updated the instructions. Please inform me of any bugs you find.

How much of a hit is it having the summary page hit the .cgi page instead of the .php page?

Will this work for 6.7?

it didn't even work in 6.6
