How to create a forum like "Private Inquiries" ???
You could probably just explain it here rather than just linking to your site Wink

Also, at your site you need to set guest permissions also for this to work.

I was busy in editing my website when I posted that Toungue Here it is;
People are confused with the options of permissions for "Private forums" in MyBB 1.6 . This small guide will walk through the easy steps to setup these permissions.

For example, if you want to make a forum as private and restrict "Registered" user group to see only there own threads within that specific forum, then Go to : ACP > Forums and Management > Select Forum > Edit > Permissions > and "Check" and "Un-check" the options below;

Permissions: for Registered User Group
Can view forum? [Ckecked]
Can view threads within forum? [Ckecked]
Can only view own threads? [Ckecked]
Can download attachments? [Ckecked]

Permissions: for Admin's and Mods
Can view forum? [Ckecked]
Can view threads within forum? [Ckecked]
Can only view own threads? [Un-Ckecked]
Can download attachments? [Ckecked]

+ Here Admins and Mods are those User Group who can see every one's thread / posts.
+ Here Registered are those User Group who can only there own created threads / posts.
