If i did understand your request, please check if any answers had been allready given in this main heading. Now to avoid you from losing time in search, clic on this link => https://help.forumotion.com/viewtopic.forum?t=363 or even there as well => https://help.forumotion.com/viewtopic.forum?t=365 You should find the answer to your request or at least a clue. If not try whats next..........

Now, to let only your members browse the forum, just go in Admin panel "forum admin" "management+" (if you don't see it, simply click on the arrow)

Once you've done that, choose the forum you want to hide, and click on "edit"
then:
- view: Member
- read: Member
- Write: Member

Repeat that action, to all the heading of your forum. Then only your members will be able to open your forum.
