How would I go about hiding a category for staff completely from guests and regular members? I'm trying to do it much like HF hides the VIP area. I've tried setting the permissons to can't view and all that but it still shows up, granted they can't see whats inside of it. I'd just like it so that they don't know the category even exists.

Forums & Posts >
Options (on Staff category) >
Permissions >
Make sure all members that aren't Staff have no permissions, and can't view.

I have done that but it really didn't make a difference. They can still see it just not the threads within the forums of it.

Because there's options to view and search, as well as options to post that you need to disable. You didn't uncheck one of those.

There are no permissions for guests or members, everythings unchecked. Does it being on tab have any effect? If you want I'll post a screen of the set permissions.

doublecheck all the permissions in every tab for the permissions that are settable for that forum area in regards to group permissions. Make sure that you don't have anything unwanted checked. Sure post a screenshot though.

Here's what the permissions look like for both the category and the forum I have inside of it.

What are your actual permissions set to now though? That's just an overview.

I have everything in this box unchecked for both the forum and cat.
