I want to make a private forum visible to everyone, but they cannot read the contents of the forum (which I have done). I applied the access masks to only allow those that I want to be able to read the threads able to do so. That works fine.
However, when on the main page of the forum listings the "last post by" shows who posted last and at what time. How do I make that NOT show the "last post by"? I don't want other members knowing when someone makes a post within a private forum showing they have access to it, but others can't read their posts. Defeats the purpose of having a private forum or access masks.
Sure, I can totally hide the forum, but then new members do not know it exists, and thus they never know to ask for permission to view the private forum.
Any suggestions?
