There is, but you have to have at least one post for it to become visible. This was to stop spamming. @Woodinblack it might make sense to make the forum visible but with a message to say you need a post to gain access?

 

That makes sense I guess! Thanks for the answer.

It’s really a quick measure to stop one particular type of spam we always used to see if the forum was visible to anyone - an account with the name ‘gear’ in the username would message people saying they have what the advertiser is looking for and ask for payment etc. I must have banned tons of them, all different IPs and locations. As soon as I made it one post to view, it stopped. I tentatively turned it back off again a year or so ago and within weeks it happened again.
