We are able to add or modify any current permissions.
Currently is not possible, when it will be possible?

Do you understand image( http://buddyceo.com/files/2009.....ferror.jpg )?
If everything is possible, the visitor should not be able to see the specific topic, but they still can. What have I done wrong?

well, that image doesnt show enough, but at least now I get what you are getting at... just a bit of language barrier [Image Can Not Be Found]

So, now those are all user groups that you have created - since the names are not default?  What I dont see in there is the Guests user group?  I assume you are trying to use Visitors for that?  Have you set it up such that the default user group for guests is Visitors (forum - options - members tab)?

okay, this is the default group settings... Any NEW forum created will get these settings, but it doesnt change any existing settings (comments on the form clearly state this)...

go to forum - manage forums and look at (ie edit) the permissions for each individual forum. I am guessing you changed the defaults, but never applied them to existing forums. BTW, you can add a group permission that will be applied to all forums in the group. It adds one user group and permission at a time, so you will want to do it for each combo you want.

okay, got your credentials... made the needed updates to forum and permissions...  forums under Dev Group no longer visible to guests...  also made them hidden from members as your image shows you want...

problem was that you had user group visitors assigned permission of visitor but that permission allows viewing forum.  changed to no access permission. same for user group members who had permission member.  changed it to no access.

basically, for Dev Group, forum permissions now match the defaults you have set.

The key here is that the defaults are whats used when you create a new forum in that group as the comment indicates.  Changing the defaults wont change any existing settings - nor would we want it to.

I only made changes to the Dev Group...

Also, another suggestion...  since you are using the three-en icon set, you should turn off the duplicate text labels for icons/buttons...  see forum - options - styling...  leave the text label on for icons that dont have text (such as subscribe to this topic, pin this post, etc)...
