pete.young Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I was looking at the site when not logged in earlier today, and the off-topic forum was visible. The ebay one wasn't. I could be wrong, but I thought off-topic and ebay were both hidden unless you logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
