Upon making 9 of my forums completely private
the existing posts disappeared.

I need those posts available to authorized users.
What shall I do?

UBB 6.0

WHne you made the foru porivate you in essence created a new forum. The old posts are not deleted, just hidden.

Please read this note from our archives for how to make then reappear. Though that was a UBB 5 how to the same applies to UBB 6.

Since this is not a bug I am moving this thread to the "how do I?" forum for followup.

Thank you - it looks like that worked.

I did not move any .threads files and I assumed it was ok to overwrite the index.html that was already was in the private directories.

Please verify this is correct.

Sounds fine..

.threads will be regenerated (or just rebuild forum stat files), and index.html should be empty anyway. Just be sure to have left a copy in the main Forum directory!
