Topic: Hiding forums for an admin

Hi there,
I'd like to hide some forums from myself as an admin (not from the whole admin group).
Reasons may be:
- too much traffic, I don't want to read or see this tongue
- other Admins care about this stuff

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'll surely have no problem of writing this "hack" for myself

Thanks in advance.

Re: Hiding forums for an admin

in index.php you could say something like
$hiddenforums = array(1,2,3);
$hiddenusers = array(3,4);
then during the loop that prints out forum details check that the current user is not in that array or the current forum is not and only print the data then.

Re: Hiding forums for an admin

thanks, I'll try that - for now I've just created an additional admin user and switched my own user back to member.
