How to create a provate forum?
I did create a new group and on forum settings I uncheck "Registered" Group for that forum permission and I do check permissions to that new group.
Is it the correct way? or is there any better way?
I have the same question. I would like users to see only a username/password prompt (similar to the admin access login screen) when accessing the forum, and not see the board names, stats, or contact info until they have logged in.
I have several public forums so even guests should be able to view them and registered should be abel tom post etc. just a category/forum among these all forums should be private for paid users. I did that like the way I said in my initial post but is there any better way to make a particular forum private?

Not exactly the same.
Admin CP --> Users & Groups --> Groups --> *edit the Guests Usergroup* - change the "Can View Board" permission to "no"

No, that's the best way.

Perfect. That works fine.
I was getting confused, as a first-time MyBB user, with the per-forum group properties, which look very similar to these group permissions...
Thanks!
Group permissions apply globally. Customized forum permissions override these group permissions
