SOLVED - How to make forum PRIVATE

[WebGirlie]

Hi there,

I'm just setting up my first free forum, and I'm very pleased with the way it looks - thanks for the hosting etc!

I need to make the Forum 'private' so that only Members can login and view messages.

I've clicked on all the links I can find in Admin and Moderate, but haven't found where to make the forum PRIVATE.

I'm sure it's very simple

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

In the admin panel, go to "Forum / Permissions" and click on the forum you wish to modify. The rest is pretty self-explaining I think - you can mark the appropriate boxes, thus setting the permissions of specific groups for that forum (just disable the options to view, post etc... for guests). Clicking on "advanced mode" will enable more options to choose from. Feel free to ask if something remains unclear of course.
