Help with new forum (PLEASE!)

[garycutri]

Hi All,

My name is Gary and I'm in the process of setting up my first forum (www.ls6.com.au/fouum (http://www.ls6.com.au/forum)). I have worked out most settings and I had vbskinworks setup & install a great looking skin. Basically the forum has only been live for 48 hours. I have just got a little stuck with the following:

1. I can't seem to block unregistered users from seeing the members list.

2. Can I display a member number is the members list? I have had members ask for a member number.

3. When I post a message there seems to be a longer than usual delay in the editor popping up. I'm not sure if this is related to where I host the site or if I configured something wrong.

4. What is the best way to setup the forums? To explain I have A main group called menu and then main groups as child objects and then child objects in those. I did this so the front page wasn't a long list of all the forum topics, I think I did this the right way?

If anyone one has time to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,

Gary

1. In the usergroup settings for unregistered users, set 'Can View Member Info' to no (btw, this can be quite annoying to visitors).

2. I don't think you can do that.

3. Not sure.

4. In vBulletin Options > Forum Listings Display Options, set the two "Depth of Forums" settings to 2.

2. You could ask your Style designer to include the userid. It will anyhow be in the link to the member profile whereever a username is shown.

Thanks for your help guys, it was very much appreciated.

Sorry but I just have 1 more question. Is it possible to set a maximum age as I have already had user putting in fake birth dates? (One user is 96 today)
