Hi All, First I'd like to say that Web Wiz Forums is the best forum package out there, hands down! Also that the support on this forum has been super since I began a project using WWF. That being said, I have another issue I'm hoping someone can answer for me... Here's my forum... http://www.astech-intermedia.com/resources/forum/default.asp I've set the permissions to allow various levels of ability to different user groups. One of the groups, however, is the group that ell employees in my company belong to. The idea is to have a category exclusively for employees to share info & files. The entire ASTECH Only category should only be visible only to the ASTECHie group, but it's not...sort of. When logged in, users can't see the ASTECH Only forums. When not logged in (Guest), the File Archive forum is visible (but only to Guests). The other forum in that category (General) is not visible, as it should be. But the File Archive forum is visible to Guests, which is bad mojo. I've checked & double-checked the group permissions to verify that Guests don't have any access to any forums in the ASTECH Only category. Sure enough, they have only Access permission to the other forums, but no access at all to the ASTECH Only forums. Why can Guests see the File Archive forum in the ASTECH Only category?! I can't figure it out! Help please!  Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me an answer!~ Amit |

On the page you set the forum name and description, make sure you select the option to 'Hide forum for users that don't have access'
