Oh boofo, you are a genius!! oh please make this for me, I will pay you!!

Unless you take it upon your own to create this or pay somebody a load of cash, this simply isn't going to happen. I can tell you right now the amount of code required for this is extensive. It seems simple, but I have found that the simply things tend to be the most complex. So I'd suggest you grab a coding book and start cracking.

Ah, if only I had time to grab a coding book.. it's php that I would have to learn? Maybe I will, and then I can code all my own crazy requests.. That's how i made my first website like 12 years ago.. bought an html book and read it over a weekend and made a website on geocities But seriously, if I wanted to learn php with the sole intention of making vb hacks, what should I look for?

and on the other parts of the post, Private groups dont do it.. It wouldnt be the same function - plus private groups can be deleted at the whim of the owner - so some of my members are hesitant as to how much detailed time and effort they want to put into posts in the social group.

Besides at my site, which is a medical site, all the main medical type posts are out on the main boards, and I don't want those posts in a private group - the private groups are for things like 'fans of grey's anatomy' and 'south beach diet' - stuff like that. If someone wants to post up some details about bloodwork, or some other specific medical issue, and doesn't want everyone to see it, they want to put it there with a password. I know it seems silly to some, but when you have a really big board, with a lot of members and a lot of activity, and deal with certain subjects, it could be a viable option
