Group-Only News/Other Questions

I made a news article that I wanted to only be viewable by a certain group. The subforum that the news is posted in is hidden, but it still shows up on the Portal page as regular news. Is there any way to hide the news on the Portal except to those specific group members?

*Where the hell is the edit for the Board Navigation block? I can't edit it in block management, it only shows a blank textbox.

*I've been hacked a couple times lately. Will the new phpBB security updates prevent this?

*I can't find an option to allow users to auto-login. Where is this..?

Thanks for the help in advance. <img>

1. I'm not sure if the News Mod works that way, maybe someone else will know better
2. You have to edit the QBAR menu. ACP -> General -> QBAR
3. They will certainly help. Make sure you are using phpBB Security v1.0.3 and you have applied all the latest fixes from the Security forum
4. It's a check box on the login page. They just have to check it when they login, and then the cookie is set.

The checkbox only came back after upgrading phpBB from 2.0.19 to 2.0.20. Thanks for the rest of the help. <img>
