Me [again]! =/

We have our forum setting set that NO ONE should be able to see/enter/post in the Admin Lounge accept admins! but, the members are complaining that they can see. Heck, if we log out, WE can still see it. What's the deal!?

Once again, our forum is located at http://pokejunglenetwork.com/forums I'm seriously thinking about switching to phpBB >>;

It depends on how you have it setup. I've want many RC4 boards with staff areas and I couldn't see them if I logged out of my admin name.

Make a new Category, be sure you setup the Permissions right meaning take away all viewing rights to non-staff groups. After you have done that move Admin Lounge under the new category you have made. Look at your permissions be sure that all viewing righs to non-staff groups can't view it.

Trust me it works fine, I'll even set it up if you can't get it working.
