I need to be able to hide certain forums when a user logs in depending on the source url. For instance, say I have a general forum with sub-forums a, b, c, and d. Now, for example, I want to set up a distinct url for a particular group that wants their own separate forum b. When they click this url, they will only be able to see their sub-forum (b) and no other sub-forums. Another group will have a url that will launch sub-forum c which will only show sub-form c. Since all forums still share the same database, any entries made in the custom b and c forums will be reflected in the general forum which still displays all 4 sub-forums.
I hope I was able to clearly state what I'm trying to do.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I think you would have to in this case set up individual permissions for each user to enter the specific sub forums

| I would have to say the same thing as Mr.TWS.. Either you can Set indivual permissions.. or you might want to have certain groups be able to see the sub forums.. you can make it so certain groups will be allowed to have access |

There are others on the forums that may be able to provide better answers, but I'm with Putz on this one

| After looking at using permissions, I don't think that will make my users happy after all. It "disables" a sub-forum by simply putting a lock on it. I need it to disappear completely. I guess what I really need is a hint at how to "hide" a sub-forum programmatically using ASP. |
