Newbie needs help with simple vBulletin question

    I need to know how to set up base category for forum without it becoming a postable thread. Like the Search Engine thing boxed in just before the first set of postable threads. Example for postable thread on this forum "Google".

    When creating a new forum there is a box that says "act as forum" under the "posting options" header. Set that to no and it will be come a category.

    Act as Forum = No
    (Will act as category if no)

    Forum is Active = Yes
    (Will not appear if set to no, but remains accessible if the forum's URL is known)

    Forum is Open = No
    (Set this to 'No' to prevent any new posts being made in this forum)

    Index New Posts in Search Engine = Yes
    (Setting this to 'No' will prevent anyone from being able to search in this forum)
