Hugo, thank you, that's perfect! You are the man of the day!

I wish I understood NAML code so I could make such changes myself.  I found an Edit link on my main app page, but in the editor all I saw was:

 <subroutine name="view_standard" requires="basic,nabble,servlet">
    <n.apply_app_namespace.view_standard_page />
</subroutine> 

There must be more code buried elsewhere that I'm not finding.  My ignorance on this is cringeworthy.

You're spot on that I'd like to hide the Woodshed subforum, which is a spam trash can.  

I drop spam posts in there rather than deleting them.  That way the posts don't get sent back to the spam originator to save.  Probably most spammers are using bogus email addresses anyway, but if any aren't, I don't want to alert them to the fact that their posts have been zapped.

Hiding Woodshed is really just a cosmetic matter.  Its contents aren't viewable by registered or unregistered users.  So it's not all that important.

Greg, thanks for the suggestions. I do have extra IDs so I can see the effect of changes on regular users.  I tried setting the flag you mentioned, but it had no effect that I could see.  I'll keep experimenting.
