Glad you like it. :)

It's for the secret-agent in all of us...heheh.

I'm thinking I might update it so that it does the same for topics, but that might get a touch complicated...we'll see. ;)

Just go to line 331 in viewtopic.php and replace the same command.

Works for me.

Go try it. Comment out the line already there, or backup the entire page first.
Paste the same line as provided by modder and it works. It works for me anyway.

All we're doing here is replacing the pre-defined error that was made for users with no permissions, with the pre-defined error that the forum does not exist. Everything else remains the same.

Let us know what you find.

It really is a nice idea, but nothing more. As it is users can easily "snoop" by trying different forum IDs while being logged out - when they match a "hidden" forum, they'll get a login box, if they don't they get an error message.

Heh, oops. Didn't think about that...

That's an easy edit though to do, I probably will update this MOD later with that and a viewforum alteration. :D
