[champendk]

Hello Vb's!

Im right now working on a site where i want to hide the features and functions until the opening date come.

I have turned my board off but its still able to see the theme and the menus and so on.

How can i fully hide my board so only administrators can see it.

All i want is a picture with a text says maintaince or something.

Thanks to all for trying help me with this.

Look up "htaccess password protect" and you can protect all of the site from prying eyes unless they have the password. You may be able to set up a single index page that they can see and then have the rest of the forums protected. Just google it and see what is out there.
