I don’t suppose there is a way to completely hide a category and its topics from all views. I want to have admin access but not have to see any discussions in one particular category on my forum that is reserved for leadership/management discussions I shouldn’t be privy to. I guess it would be nice …

On the category page, click the “Edit” button and then go to the “Security” tab. From there, you can set permissions on a per-group basis.

Oh, I might have misunderstood you. If you don’t want it to show up for your admin account, you can click the circle at the upper-right corner on the category page and choose “Muted”.

If you are an admin, this is unavoidable – I suggest logging out of admin to a ‘regular’ account (or a moderator) if you want to have limited visibility. Admins are superusers, they can see and do everything by definition.

Don’t know if there’s a way for the admin’s IP to be logged in on two accounts at once. For now, if I was in this situation, I would maybe add your ‘civilian’ account to that /about page. If something is wrong, they can PM your civilian account and you can hop onto the admin account. Or you can h…

It is feasible with the Chrome “select which browser user you are” functionality. That became a lot more prominent in the latest ver of Chrome which shows the current browser user name in the toolbar…

I saw that with the recent update. I was also thinking of having the admin account open on an incognito window. Don’t know if I can use incognito and ‘regular’ at once in two separate window instances of Chrome.

You just click on the name in the title bar to switch identities in the browser: [תמונה] (they didn’t let me assign a real logo to it, so I had to pick from the terrible prefab ones.. sorry about the ninja)

I do the google chrome identity switching all the time, also to have different identities going in google for different projects. in OSX there is also now an equally stupidly named but very handy “People” menu item that lets you more quickly choose between the identities. Two clicks rather than thre…

Mine worked. Not sure how I got it though… Maybe connected to my Google Apps account? [תמונה]

Yeah, this is what we are doing but it then creates an odd situation where our /about page is not accurate and we do not have a good record of who is logging in and doing what as admin.
