Hi,

Could someone please tell me if the following is possible:

1) Hide the forum listings completely until the user has logged in - I'm looking to make the site private except for logged in users.

2) Hide the 'Accept Forum Rules and Policies' screen - this is not relevant to me.

3) Hide the forum preferences when registering. I have set 'Full Registration Form' to No in the Registration Settings section but can't see that it makes any difference?

4) Hide the Forum Software clause in the footer.

Thanks in advance.

1. Edit the settings for your chosen forum and set permission so that Guests have no access and enable the option for 'Hide Forum if no access'

2. You can not hide the 'Accept Forum Rules and Policies' screen as unless you are based on the moon this is a legal requirement to comply with privacy laws such as EU GDPR and UK Data Protection.

3. Setting the 'Full Registration Form' to No makes the registration form shorter but you still get forum preferences.

4. You can edit a file in the includes folder. If you search the forum there are posts on how to do this,.
