I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but the issue I'm having is that I'm trying to keep a couple forums hidden from specific users. The Auth type for both forums is set to "Allowed Member List (Hidden)" and the users that I want to have access are selected correctly. Everything works great... no one but the correct users can view the forum in the listings, but if a user that doesn't have access to see it goes to the Active Topics, and if a user is in that forum, it will list that forum.

Basically I'm just trying to avoid questions - the existence of this forum should never be seen by anyone other than the people I have chosen. Is there a way to fix this?

You mean that the "who is online" shows that that member is in a hidden forum right ?
If so that would be something that isn't correct (haven't coded the mod / haven't installed it either, just making sure the mod-builders understand your problem).

I guess he must be talking about active_users will take a quick look, i'm not sure whether someone may have already addressed this issue

Yes, sorry if I wasn't more clear. The "who is online" (Active Users link) shows the user in the hidden forum. I doubt they have anything to do with this, but just in case, I also have the Events Calendar 2.0 Sr1 (I think that's right , and the Avatar mod installed as well. Both of those are working solidly.

here goes, not tested this but should be ok.

look in the active user code, it will either be in inc_top.asp, or in a seeperate file called inc_active_users.asp, you are looking for the code that does this

If lcase(Right(strOnlinePathInfo, 9)) = "forum.asp" Then
	strOnlineLocation = "<a href=""forum.asp?" & strOnlineQueryString & """>" & Request.QueryString("Forum_Title") & "</a>"
ElseIf lcase(Right(strOnlinePathInfo, 11)) = "default.asp" Then


change it as follows


If lcase(Right(strOnlinePathInfo, 9)) = "forum.asp" Then
	if chkForumAccess(Request("FORUM_ID") then
	strOnlineLocation = "<a href=""forum.asp?" & strOnlineQueryString & """>" & Request.QueryString("Forum_Title") & "</a>"
	else 
	strOnlineLocation = "Private Forum"
	end if
ElseIf lcase(Right(strOnlinePathInfo, 11)) = "default.asp" Then


You will need to do the same around reply.asp and topic.asp, just use the same
if chkForumAccess(Request("FORUM_ID") then
