Auto permissions for forum based on profile field
 

I'm planning on creating a few 'hidden forums' that only registered users will have access to. The thing is I want new users to have automatic access / permission to those forums when they sign but based on a profile field. How do I go about doing this?

As an example: If the profile field for gender is male then that user gets access to the 'male forum'. If the profile field for gender is femal then that user gets access to the 'female forum'.

The profile fields I'm thinking of using make use of drop down lists so the text inn that field is always exactly the same.

Is anyone able to offer any asistance or recommendations?

I would be very interested in this aswell

Please!!!

Anyone?

And no, I don't want to use the conditional usergroup plugin. I just want a simple way to manually set a forum POST to only show to a member if they are 'male' :)

Thanks

I'd like this too - to have a user select topics that they are interested in and be added to a public group accordingly, or to have them select their public groups as part of the registration process
