Hi,

In our semi-private setup we've setup each forum to be "hidden if no access." However, this does not stop people from browsing topics via the active topics menu option.

Although people still can't READ the topics without the proper authorization, we'd prefer they remain completely invisible. Short of removing the active topics section entirely, are there any work-arounds? Will there be an option to restrict access to that function in a future version?

Cheers,

-Brian

eksimba,

Thanks. I've applied the SQL (Access version on last page) from the first link with a slight modification (version 7.5 wants Forum.[Read] selected) to get it working.

Thanks again,

-Brian
