The quickest way to hide the forums is to simply delete the elements from the UI in the templates. Do you edit HTML or know somebody that does?

Just use <!– and –> to comment out the registration link, or comment out the php that renders it

You can also use an .htaccess file to make your forums directory password protected with a master user:pass.

If this is over your head, like i said, ask somebody. ask me!

The login problem seems to be troubling a lot of people, including myself.
