[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2656566, member: 1242"] Typically, you can see the forum name and a description of it (which may or may not contain instructions on how to gain access -- that typically includes a minimum amount of days of membership and minimum number of posts) but it will say "private" under the "last post" category and if you try to click on it a screen will pop up telling you you do not have permission to access that forum. Once a moderator opens access, then when you log on you will be able to see the threads and their content, just like you would any other forum on the board. It's not that you can't see the TITLE of the forum, it's that you can't see the CONTENTS of the forum. It's pretty simple really. There is a function on OSA to limit access to any board I wish to limit a member from now. Just a click of a particular box and I can limit your access to any forum here ... And there are threads here now that, when members click on them, they are told that link is no longer valid and they need to contact an administrator if they feel this is in error, so the function to move threads is obviously already here. Someone else has already mentioned that vBulletin has everything an IT guys needs to set up a private forum, so it's not like anyone is asking some super human feat from IT guys as talented as VeggieMeat or YukonGlocker ... they are both glad to share their credentials with anyone ... we are lucky to have such knowledge and expertise at our disposal.
