Xobor.com - official support forum

Hllo Jim,

it's easy to make your forum private.

First, go to Admin → Forum.
Click on any category and any forum you've created and revoke any rights for guests. Don't forget to click on "save" afterwards.

Then, go to Admin → Users → Groups → Activating New Members and make sure that one of the last two options is active.
Also you should have "Guests" as the standard user group for guests and not activated (or logged in) members.

Last but not least, log out of your forum and write the red marked URL behind your forum URL:

www.yourforum.xobor.de/forum.php?show=last

This will lead you to the page "latest posts". If you are logged out and see nothing on this list, you have done anything right. If you still can see a topic, repeat the first step with the forum where the topic is placed in.

Normally you can just see postings in the feed if you are allowed to see the forum. Can you see the topics in the feed as a guest, too?
