How do I make an individual forum private? I'd like for it to be where administrators can approve the members who apply for this one subforum...

Thanks!

i know you can make it for Admins/mods to see a certain forum by changing the permissions of it, but i think you'd need to make a special gropup for certain members to see the forum, as if you make it for members to read and write, it will apply to all members,

My suggestion: make a special group for those certain members and give the group the permission to view the topic,

You will have to make a group that you want to have access to that forum(s) then go to the forum(s) by Modifying it and clicking permissions and saying stop Guest/Members from viewing the forum and then add that group to view it and click save.


Hope that explains it.
