You can choose which subforums to search (or not to search) in advanced search.

I think he's wondering if he can completely hide a subforum (like, say, R&P) from even being visible to him as an option.

Can't you just NOT open that forum? I highly doubt you can just remove an entire forum from the site via some kind of view setting.

Having played with other phpBB boards, there is a way for an admin to hide it for specified users, but there is no way I'm aware of to make it a user option.

What about putting it in a separate high level category so the little - dash can collapse it from view? Gaming, The Other Stuff, The Other Other Stuff No R&P Here Don't Even Try To Look

Okay, I take it back. I believe I have your fix.

Looks like my dad’s thumb, are you a chronic nail biter?

I usually use the New Post button, so I don’t know if there’s any way to suppress the new posts from a single sub forum.
