Willy,

Again, thanks for your help. I went back and edited "index.php" and changed "location: board.php" to "location: board.php?category=3" and that will now display the default category that I want users to see when they logon.

With this change users will not be seeing board threads at all when they logon. They will only see the 3 posts that I have made in the new default category and can only access other threads by selecting "All Categories" or individual categories. Hopefully, when I start adding my members to the forum this will make it less confusing...
