no it doesn't. you can't just copy paste from his readme. you have to take into account the captcha (sp) field as well.

other than that, it works wink

hidden forums (as i interpret what you ask) have been standard all along.

you just have to setup the permissions for a particular group or groups to be allowed to read/read-reply/read write.

eg: having an admin and mods only forum would be hidden to all other groups.

ahhhh... all this time, i thought that was the hack.

i guess the mod i had was just to hide the listing of the forum on the homepage, regardless of who has permissions to view it.

phew.

thanks for the clarification, sirdude, i got it workin now! smile
