Forum Showing when set to Deny

Hello all,

I just recently set up this on our website and had a bit of an issue with permissions. However, that is fixed now. The only problem i'm having now is that a category and forum I have set to deny for registered members still shows. Why would this happen and is there a way to hide it?

Thank you for your time and help.

Hi selwing95,

In order for the distinct forums permissions to work, you have to enable the "Forums permissions" setting under the "Settings" section, and then you will have to configure it for all forums.

Its working now, thank you very much. Very happy with this product.

Another question,

Is there a way to have the forum icon show red or different when there is an unread post there?

You can add your own CSS under the "Settings" area, just use the icon class and use this rule:

color:#f00;

Where would I find the icon class?

Well, sorry! I thought that you mean the topic's icon, unfortunately the forum's icon will not be affected/changed because its unaware of the the unread posts status, you can change the color though using CSS, right click the icon and select "inspect element" and you should be able to find the class!

Okay, let me try to explain it just to make sure we are both talking about the same thing🙂

So this is what it looks like normally:



What I want to do is make those folder icons or texts show a different color when there is a new post in any of those threads. How would I do that? Thank you again for your help.

Yes, I got it earlier, the icons you have here are the "forums" icons, those are not aware of the status of the unread topics/posts inside them, so you can NOT do this, you can change the color, which is just basic styling, but you can't make it dependent on the new posts status because it doesn't detect it!

However, the icons of the topics inside the forums can detect new posts and will change based on that!

I can add the feature you need, please send me a message using the contact us page to get a patch file and test it.
