Hidden Catagories

How do I hide certain catagories, so that only a person knows the URL to them can find them? I have a multi-purpose forum, and this feature would be good to use for separating the varous aspects of my board. I tried using the search option to search out this answer but was unable to find it.

You could create a new permissions mask for those that you want to be able to see it. Create / edit the board and select only staff and the new permissions mask for view. Then put the people you want to be able to see that board in this new permissions group. You can set the permissions by group or for specific members.

This way only the people you want can see them and you don't need to memorize the URL.

Hope this helps!

Basically, my board would be huge if every single catagory to everything is visible (which it currently is). I want all people to see all things, but as my forum is used for two very different purposes (gaming, and a Library) I do not want the Library Catagories visible when you first see the forum, but are forced to click on a link to the catagory in my Welcome box. (See the forum)

There should be some little code you can plug in that hides certain catagories and the contents within. Just I dont know where to find that code.

If you set forums to "Read" but not "View" in your permissions sets, users will be able to access the forums through a link, but they will not see them on the index.
