Thanks... that shouldn't be too bad to do, hopefully.

Okay, I know that there will be visitors and free members. But is there a way to add third option ---a subsription for paid members to view private areas that visitors and free members can't view? Is this even possible? I hope so. I like the list on the registration page on this forum: www.degreeforum.net/register.php4

ACP -> Paid Subscriptions -> Add New Subscription

To make a board that only they (and staff) can see, create one, and go to
ACP -> Forums and Moderators -> Forum Permissions -> Find board -> block guests, free members, and whoever else you don't want to have access
