I'm evaluating the WebWiz forum before I buy the Premium Edition,  and I wonder if anyone can help answer a couple of questions.

I'm having horrendous problems hiding forums.  Using a separate browser, but not logging in,  I can see *some* forum names (but can't access them) but others are missing.  

I've cleared all permissions for the 'Guest Group' and the 'Guests' user account.  I would expect either all of the forums to be visible (but not accessible) to a guest visitor or, even better,  the Categories and forums would be invisible to them entirely.  But I have some forums visible and others invisible.

What I'd like is for 'guests' and newly registered users to only see an 'intro' category/forum.  Then, I add them to either 'Group One' or 'Group Two'.  That group membership then gives them access to one of the two 'real' Categories/Forums.  So,  members of 'Group One' wouldn't even see the Group Two category or forums.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Ian

When you create or edit a forum in the admin area near where you type in the forums description there is an option to hide the forum if the visitor or members can not access the forum.

If you check this option for the forum it will only display to those members who have permission to access the forum and would be hidden to everyone else.
