I want to make it to where a certain catagory can only be accessed if they have the link, I don't want it showing on the index. How do I do that?

I did some looking around and I don't believe this can be done. I think the best way to do this is create the forum and then change the permissions so only specific usergroups can view it.

Oh thank you! but is it compatible with 1.6?

Its a simple css edit and permission check.

Give the Permission to usergroup to whom you want to give link ?
and than in stylesheet.

give this code with your forum id

#forum_['your_fid_here']
{
display:none;
}

and than open template>your_template_name>forumbit templates>forumbit_depth1_cat, put these code

<div id="forum_{$forum['fid']}" class="content">      // this should be first line in template
...
...
</div>  // this should be last line in your template

This will hide the content you have given in place of "your_fid(forum id)_here"
