I created a new forum for the intros to go to that is not visible on the forum listing, but is open for posting. The idea is that I verify that the intro is not garbage or spam, then just move posts to the real intro forum (mass move if there are several).

When creating the profile field, I kept it as not required so existing members are not forced to use it. If a new member leaves it blank (I say it is required in the description), they won't get activated. In the options I set the minimum characters to 0.

So I did a test register and all looked OK, but nothing posted. Can someone help me with this? Do I need to make the permissions for the forum open to guest posting for this to go through?

Anyone?
