Hi, Is it possible to hide a single topic in any board from guests? Like while posting a topic, topic author should have a option to hide this topic from guest enable or disable. If enable then guest can not see that topic.

Not by default, but it can easily be achieved with a mod.

A mod needs to be developed for that, is what I meant.

P.s. Have you searched the mod database btw? Maybe there is such a mod. Otherwise you can request one at the Request forum.

There isn't such a mod because it's actually really, really hard to do correctly.

Board index (plus info center), message index, topic display, search, RSS, and SSI all have to be changed separately and it's a surprising amount of work to implement topic level privacy correctly - and then any mods you have (e,g, portal) will also need changing.
