How do I set my forum to private?
I want to set my forum to private, but I want guests to see users online, and also be able to see the memberlists, so they will know who has registered. How do I do this?
Re: How do I set my forum to private?
I think that isn't possible on Forumotion.com
You can only put your forum on holiday or in construction.

Thanks... but I have seen another forum in which you had to sign in to see the threads... etc..
Re: How do I set my forum to private?
ACP=>General Tab=>Forum=>Categories and forums=>Choose forum=>Permissions=>View the forum and its messages=>Members=>Save
Guest will not be able to view your forum.Just do this with all of your forums.
You can also disallow new members on your forum:
ACP=>Users & Groups Tab=>Users=>Users options=>Allow new members=>No=>Save
Or you can manually activate your friends account,so you can manage who's registering:
ACP=>Users & Groups Tab=>Users=>Users options=>New accounts activation=>Admin=>Save
Hope I helped,

Re: How do I set my forum to private?
Okay... The only problem is.. I was wanting the "guest" to be able to see who was online and also be able to see who was online in the last 24 hours.. is that possible?

They will not be able to view the forums if you did what I suggested...

Re: How do I set my forum to private?
Yeah, I did like you said.. and they werent able to see the forums, so that worked well But... I did want them to be able to see who was online at that monent, as well as who had been there in the last 24 hours.. does that make sense?
Re: How do I set my forum to private?

Okay.. I just checked and it is on root index only. It does show on my forum, but only for my members to view. I also wanted it to be shown to my guests who have not signed in yet. Is that possible?
Re: How do I set my forum to private?
Okay.. I have figured it out! As long as there is one forum "open" for guest to see.. then the online status will display at the bottom, and guest will be able to see who has been online in the last 24 hours. So... I just made an Introduction board welcoming guests and lurkers to register. Thanks for all your help.. and this thread can be set to "solved" now
Re: How do I set my forum to private?
Since this thread appears to be solved, I will lock this thread and mark it as solved.
