I setup a forum that had Administrator access set for all roles, than I check marked the [x] Hide if person has no access.


Well the forum isnt hidden, any guest can just waltz in and read it.. is that a bug or did I set it up wrong?

You've got it the wrong way round, you've just given every role administrator rights for that forum.

You need to create an AccessMask called No-Access (if there isn't one already, depending what version your using). Which basically won't have anything ticked. That give every role the No-Access Permission apart from the group you want to access it.

When I post FP:Mek in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting. (Yes I stole this off Ederon Smile )
