How do we post a hidden content?? On many forums i have seen that hidden topics are post which only open up once you answer to the topic. How is it done?

Hello,

This is a modification that would require FTP access and cannot be done.

Sorry.

I dunno what you mean by the last part, but you can make forums hidden from certain user groups. That's the only hidden I know of on these things.

Like, let's say you want a forum to only be visible to those with 50+ posts. You make permission mask called user (or whatever you wanna call it) and assign it to a the groups with 50+ posts.

Once the mask is assigned to the groups, alter that forum's permissions - leave the check boxes blank for everyone except that mask and the admin mask.

Need any further info, like where to add/alter these, just reply and I (or someone else, whoever gets to it first) will help you out. If I got it wrong and you're talkin' about somethin' else completely, then well, nevermind this reply.
