Do you want people to be able to read it or post to it?

Ok, I assume you know that isn't possible with the standard features, and are asking how to write a hack to do that?

This seems to do the trick for the main forum index only:

in ubbthreads.php find:

$groupquery .= ")";

Add after that line this:

$groupquery .= " AND (t1.Bo_Keyword NOT IN ('forum1','forum2','forum3'))";

or this for one forum:

$groupquery .= " AND (t1.Bo_Keyword <> 'forumkeyword')";

Replace forum1,forum2,forum3 etc with the KEYWORD for the forums title.

Does that help any?

Why not assign a group to those that have access to the forum and just adjust the permissions?

GROUPA sees private forums and all USER forums

USE sees all USER forums and doesn't even know the forums that GROUPA sees exist.

I think he wants a forum that is accesable but not on the main list of forums. Hidden, but not private.
