Hi there, I'm hoping to add another check to the private forums on my servers, however...I'm not seeing a "global function" that does this. Am I missing something, or is each check simply done via MLEV checks?

Out of another curiosity, what's MLEV4?? For that matter, I guess, what are all the levels?

I've got multiple forums on a single user database...the problem is that each Admin on each site can see private forums across ALL sites. I'd like to limit this to just the ones I want them to see, and was hoping to add a helper function to the system. I've already added one to the Admin section (each page checks validity of the correct admin)...I'd like to extend this to private forums as well.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The function to check / change is chkForumAccess, in inc_func_secure.asp.

Thanks for the info. It appears that chkForumAccess is not called for Moderators and Admins (ever), and it never shows up even in default.asp. For testing, I put this at the top of the function:
function chkForumAccess(fForum, UserNum, Display)
chkForumAccess = false
exit function

Admins are still able to navigate through any forums, whether they have access or not. Mods are allowed to navigate through what they have access to.

So, I think the Admin/Mod check functions are spread throughout the various pages as required...

Hmm... appears that chkDisplayForum is a good one, and appears to cover *displaying* Categories/Forums, but doesn't keep an Admin out of a forum if they know the FORUM_ID and manually type it in.

Still searching...

Hmmm... Never had a look at it before. Maybe someone from the Dev Team can help here, I'm in rather busy, so I can't have a look now.
