Invitation Only
 

How do I make my forum invitation only? Secondly how do I edit the registration page to show visitors that it is invitation only? Any help appreciated.

Easy way to do this, only way i know. is from cpanel. You should already have some locations Password Protected. like Admincp (should also rename admicp) n Modcp. they should be passwored protected.

Then to make it invitation only. you can Password Protect The root Public of your forum. So if anyone goes to www.yourdomain.com It will pop up like this image > http://snpr.cm/xdfnI2.png before they can even see anything. if they get it wrong this will show up > http://snpr.cm/JwEc9A.png

u do this by going into cpanel-security-password protect directory

be sure to write down username n password
