Hi Team,
Thank you, celux has been laid up, i.e. out of action for the last week, unable to action anything.
Finally celux is home again, and about to read all the thread, and thank you for these posts, we'll read the suggestions shortly and try see if we can set something up.
Here's an example, HippyKill with 17 Posts has just posted in the Market Place, but unfortunately most likely a Moderator will soon come along & delete poor old HippyKill's post (I will save the content now however).. he shouldn't have access to post in this forum unless he's been a 30 Day Member + 25 Posts (this was easy to set up in phpBB, hell, even I could handle it).

In vB5 it seems a bit more involved, we'll see..
Will report back later today.
Thanks heaps Team :up:

When we shifted from phpBB ---> vB5 this was the Membership of the Market Place... there will be a few more who qualify now but this will be most.

We already have a hidden sub-from in the 'Off Topic Forum' that only Moderators can access...
We'd like the Market Place to be visible, just not able to be posted in unless a member meets the requirements & has been added.
We used to add them manually when we were on phpBB.
This 'Testing - MOD's only' forum isn't visible to the public, only 7 members can access it...
We do want the Market Place to be visible to the public however.

So... we need to create / add a new user group (market) here and then add the members then?

1) You need to create a usergroup which you intend to have permission to view the specific sub-forum in question.
2) You need to create a promotion to move users who meet your criteria (30 days registered and 25 posts) into that new usergroup.
3) You need to restrict access to that specific channel by channel permissions (if so desired) in the case or event that there are usergroups you want to see that channel regardless of having met the criteria. Typically this would be moderators. - In Omnibus

Ok ok... found the PROMOTION page..

Created a group called Market Place based of the permissions of Registered Users... it shows up as 'Custom Usergroups' as per:
And can see how possibly we can create the 'promotion, as per:
Hm...
Thanks you VERY MUCH In Omnibus....
Might stop here for a bit, as I'm not sure this is quite the right method
There is hope however
