Adding new Forum

[Guest]

Hi guys,

On our forum website I have multiple forums (not categories). I'm looking to add another Forum, but I want to make it private and only allow certain members into it. We have a substantial amount of members now.

What I'm trying to do:

Have one place for a group of students (calling this Group 16)

When they go into this there are 12 entries, titled: Assignment 1 through-to Assignment 12.

Mods will drop in homework and answer questions in each space, and students can talk to each other too.

Here's an image showing what I mean:



So my question is: can I make this forum section private, if so what settings do a change to do this and where.

Thank you,
Ash

hi

you can add the members you want in a group lets say Test group and then allow only this group to be able to view,write and read to that forum

set the permission to that forum from admin panel

Hi there,

Thanks for the response. I do not have this option on my settings? Advanced Mode just isn't there. Scrub that, I changed some setting and it appeared.

"you can add the members you want in a group lets say Test group" - how do I do this part? Say James, Dave and Dan, all need to be in 'Test Group 1'. How do I assign that?
