We have a lot of member in my board. I would like to Create a Section that would be only for special people and Moderator, to get in they would need a PW. Is there a way to do this. Thank you very much for your help...........

If you havent created the forum yet go to your admin panel. Then go to "Forums and Moderators". THen hit the ADD button below it. FIll in the neccesary information. YOu will then notice an option.

"Private forum
(Invisible to all except moderators and admins; user access masks must be on!)" Select yes. The forum will then be invisible to normal users and visible to moderators and administrators.

IF you already have the forum simply edit the options for that forum..

You could also just move certain people into a new user group and then go to your admin cp and go to

USER GROUPS AND PERMS -> MODIFY FORUMS

This allows you to set up access to a forum based on user group.

A hack for this already exists. However it is a beta hack and may contain bugs - search for it in the hack forum.

Use the link in my signature -->PasswordHack<--
next week I will try to fix the bug with the searchengine (shows the subjects) if I have the time to do this.
