Can I block a apecific member from seeing a specific forum?

Can I make one member(or a group of members) not be able to see a specific forum? There is one specific thing I don't want some people to see and I don't want to add everyone else to a group and leave him out because I have too many members to do that.....

Yes you can do this. Go to admin panel=>Forum=>Permissions=>Forum permissions control. Click on the forum you would like and then click the "Advance mode" button(if you haven't already done that, if you have then the button won't appear). Now you can edit all the permissions for your groups. Just check the boxes for the options you would like your members to do in that forum. To make the forum hidden for a group uncheck the "View the forum" and "Read the topics" boxes next to the group you want.

Just a quick note. Don't forget when you create this group for those, to make it a hidden group. So they won't know you put them in a special group and why.

I can't uncheck the box next to the group without unchecking it next to the normal members. Is there a way to not have to make them unable to see it?
