Hey Melg
Not from what I have found so far. I hid the windows discussion group and alas I have not been able to find a way to restore it. my google search hasn't turned up any good results either.
@khad if you go to the main forum page and hover over a topic area and then click on the gear icon that shows up you will find an option to hide the particular forum.

The only way I found to see one of the groups once hidden was to know the actual forum name. All I could find was you need to visit the exact url in order to see it. Maybe the team can find a way time will tell.
Here they are:
Announcements = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/general-announcements
Lounge = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/general-lounge
1Password Mac from Agilebits site = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/1password-mac-agilebits
1Password Mac from the Mac App Store = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/1password-mac-app-store
Browser Extensions = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/1password-mac-browser-extensions
1Password for iOS Devices = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/1password-ios
1Password for Windows = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/1password-windows
1Password for Android = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/1password-android
1Password for Windows Phone = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/1password-windows-phone
1Password 2 (Legacy) = http://discussions.agilebits.com/categories/1password-tiger-and-leopard

As far as I can tell there is not a way to unhide a forum via the UI. You'll need to follow these very convoluted steps.
- Grab the "Hide" URL for one of the other forums. Don't actually hide it. Just copy the URL for hiding it.
- Change the
valueparameter in the URL from0to1. - Change the
categoryidparameter in the URL to the ID of the category you wish to reinstate/unhide:
6 Announcements 7 Agile Lounge 11 Mac (from AgileBits website) 12 + Website Betas 25 Mac (from Mac App Store) 26 + Mac App Store Betas 14 Browser Extensions 21 + Browser Extensions Betas 9 iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad 19 Windows 13 + Windows Betas 18 Android 20 Windows Phone 5 1Password 2 (Legacy) 17 Knox for Mac
As an example, if you hid the Windows category and your personal
keyis ABCDEF123456 then this is the URL you would use to reinstate/unhide the Windows category:http://discussions.agilebits.com/vanilla/category/follow?categoryid=19&value=1&tkey=ABCDEF123456
Note that the category ID is
19which corresponds to "Windows" in the list above. Thevalueis1to "enable" the category. The key is specific to your account and will be different than the one used as an example above.Cheers!

Hey guys,
I was sitting around the house this evening and not much happening here or the Dropbox forums. So I fired up TextExpander and made a snip-it that when invoked will fill in the info above and prompt you to add the category from khad's list above, and you will need your personal key he also references above.
If you don't mind typing the url there is no need for the snip-it, and as far as I know it only works using TextExander 4, and will not work with any earlier version due to the fill in prompts etc.
Just a sorta passing the time sorta thing :D
It will also make it useful for those of us whom may occasionally wish to hide things again. With an easy undo.
Please note:
- The info in my post above should only be used with TextExpander as some of the info is directly related to TextExpander and use of it by copy and paste into a browser may yield unpredictable results.
