private forums--excluding from search, hiding from view.

[Larry M]

Hi all--New here, just got our forums set up. I did a search and went through the last 30 days on this, but couldn't find an answer.

1) How can I keep the private forums from showing up during a search? Right now our admin forum is listed along with other forums and archives.

2) I found the switch to toggle off the viewing of the admin forum, but now no one can see it. How can I correct that?

Thanks for any help,

Larry

If you are the admin, you will beable to see the posts in your admin forum, standard users wont see thoes posts.

I believe this is the same as above, when you are logged in as admin, can you see the forum? You should beable to, but then log off the forums, or log in as a jr member, you shouldnt beable to see that forum.
