Now, go to: >>"Permissions" under, "User Admin" >>Type in the name of the user that you want to be able to see the forum. >>Hit "Look Up User". >>Hit "Advanced Mode". >>Now, look by the hidden forum... now you can set the things you want that user to be able to do in that forum. (The things we set to "Private" above.) Now, to allow them to do the certain things, change the "OFF"s to the "ON"s. >>Hit "Submit".
