Restricting forums...
 
Hi,

I need to be able to lock & block certain forums by user group...

I want to keep the forums visible but innaccesible to standard registered users or by user group...

I managed to do this by setting the permissions for each individual forum, however there is a problem with this method!

You can't stop members from viewing there own threads if they once had access to that section! Unless of course u remove the thread!

So the system is only truly affective for new users, but if you've removed a members access to those forums (restricted his access) he can still view his old threads!

How can I beat this?

Is there a way to make the forum always appear in the list... but locked for certain user groups & maybe have a custom message come up when they click the link?

Thx in advance....

There is a way by creating new user groups and restricting access to those certain forums. Should be under forum permissions where you edit the forum stuff

Correct, but this is still not 100% effective! As stated before, members can still the view the threads they originally started :(

I want the forums visble but posts unviewable by certain user groups ;)

Including members that have had there access reversed...
