I made a private forum. Hidden too. Google is in it somehow...

it says in the forum admin panel.

I tested it with a non-mod/non-admin username I have, AND on another laptop and it was invisible. Even using the direct URL, it says it doesnt exist. I didnt see this topic in the searches but Ihave to admit, theres a lot of info on this site I simply didnt get to.

If you feel like testing it, the URL is http://www.homelessdiver.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=12

Also, I never renamed the admin.php because my last few attempts at that went screwy. I did comment out the logic and socket testing in nukesentinel.php recently, (godaddy hosting).

Is it possible that google-search was just incrementing numbers to the URL thread and it was showing an attempt but not an actual access? I couldnt look it up since that range was in the preloaded exclusion list. (which i changed a few minutes ago).

Under the Forum Permissions Control for that forum click on Advanced Mode and make sure the individual permissions are set correctly (Private).
