www.mysite.com/members is htaccess password protected.
therefore, yes - you simply type the address, but you need a password.
Which is managed by verotel.
there is a way to do this, and there is someone on this forum who is intelligent enough to do it.

honestly, I don't care - I will pay for two licenses, if I can avoid making people register 2 times in order to keep te same username.
I have a members only area that people pay to get to. then they want to share posts with other people that also pay to be in that area. at this time, vbulletin does not support verotel paid subscriptions, so I am looking for a solution.
