Does the latest version of UBB allow the following scenario.

I want to create a private area with sub-forums.

Either users with permission or users in a group with said permissions should be allowed to create a topic but only that user that created the topic and Moderators (or members of another specified group) will be allowed to read or post back to that new topic. ie. no other members (including those that might be in this special member group that allowed them into this area) should be allowed to read or if possible even see this new topic. The Moderators or special PrivateAreaLeads for example will be allowed to see and reply and the member that created the topic.

You lost me with the part that says:

only that user that created the topic and Moderators (or members of another specified group) will be allowed to read or post back to that new topic.

I think the answer is no.

I assume what you are looking for is a forum that allows a post be created but only visible to the say moderators and the creator of the post.

Somewhat like when you open a support ticket with a hosting service. You have access as well as all support personnel. But it is not public to all users.

If that is what you are looking for then, That would be a nice feature to add.

Yes I believe your summary is correct

IP Board provides such functionality but I was hoping to use UBB instead.

Yep, the issue becomes the "can see forum" permission.
It is by group.
It looks more to me to be a trouble ticket type system.
Maybe someone else will chime in. But since ubb is group based for permissions I don't even see a work around.

Private topics is close to it but then the poster has to know and add the recipients up front.
